I served fourteen years in the army and was discharged in 2022 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $5,350. 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 $5,350 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,900 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,350 • Transport to appointments: $380 • Essential household items: $720 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    Best of luck, Gabriella. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best

    • So sorry you're going through this, Gabriella. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted

          Hang in there, Gabriella. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.

          • best of luck. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Da Nang.
