I served four years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $6,200.
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 $6,200 goes:
• Essential household items: $580
• Training provider fees: $3,100
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,520
With deep gratitude,
Elijah
