I served six years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place. I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $2,900. 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 $2,900 goes: • Transport to appointments: $550 • Essential household items: $540 • Training provider fees: $1,810 With deep gratitude, Gloria

Updates from Gloria

  1. 8% there. I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($130 in total) I made the first payment toward transport to appointments. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Gloria
