🇬🇧 Coventry, England, United Kingdom1,589 views
I served ten years in the army 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 $2,600.
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 $2,600 goes:
• Essential household items: $630
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,650
• Transport to appointments: $320
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
