I served eight years in the air force and was discharged in 2023 with a back injury. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $1,600.
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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $430
• Essential household items: $240
• Training provider fees: $930
I hope life is good to you.

Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Wudil but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Sending strength, Elias. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Best of luck, Elias. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Manukau.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Manchester but we're thinking of you. God bless.
