I served six years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain 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 $3,600. 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. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $3,600 goes: • Training provider fees: $1,600 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,150 • Transport to appointments: $350 • Essential household items: $500 Thanks for reading all this.

    Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 15 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything.

    • Luke W. JacksonQuestion

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Abigail.

      • Abigail HudsonOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

        Sure. The biggest one is training provider fees, $1,600. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.

          Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
