Lucy served four years in the infantry and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. She has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $3,100.
Lucy is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $3,100 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $250
• Training provider fees: $1,750
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,100
Thank you for reading my story.

keep going, Douglas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Ottawa!
