Sheffield
I served twelve years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting seven 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 $4,150. 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 $4,150 goes: • Transport to appointments: $290 • Training provider fees: $2,400 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,460 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Emery

  1. Update from Sheffield: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 20% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 17% funded and I made the first payment toward housing deposit and first month.

  3. Small update. $361 so far, the plan for training provider fees is now scheduled.
