I served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place. I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $3,850. I'm receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and am committed to my recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. I'd be grateful for any help and will share updates on how I'm doing. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $3,850 goes: โ€ข Training provider fees: $1,750 โ€ข Housing deposit and first month: $1,500 โ€ข Transport to appointments: $230 โ€ข Essential household items: $370 Thanks for reading all this.

  • good luck, Carter. Hope you get there. God bless

    • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Carter!

      • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. training provider fees comes first ($1,750) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.

    • wishing you the best, Carter. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.

      • Take care, Carter. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless

        • Hope things get better soon, Carter. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Newcastle upon Tyne donated after I showed her your page.

          • Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
