Amelia served six years in the marines and was discharged in 2025 with chronic tinnitus. She has been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $3,100. Amelia is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden. Where the $3,100 goes: • Essential household items: $250 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,450 • Training provider fees: $1,400 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Aaron
