I served ten years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2022 with a service-related knee 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 $5,000.
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 $5,000 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,600
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,850
• Transport to appointments: $210
• Essential household items: $340
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
Updates from Ezra
Good news. Because of your gifts ($941 in total) I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 11% thanks to 14 of you. the plan for housing deposit and first month is now scheduled. More news soon.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Milan
Wishing you peace, Ezra. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Sydney.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Ezra. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Love from Monterrey.
hope things get better soon, Ezra. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 31 people at work. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Ezra. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Aurangabad this morning.
