I served six years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 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 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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $4,150 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,450
• Housing deposit and first month: $990
• Transport to appointments: $460
• Essential household items: $250
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

stay strong, Emilia. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Nashik.
Take care, Emilia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Glasgow donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Dundee.
Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Emilia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up.
Thinking of you and your family, Emilia. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
