I served four years in the infantry and was discharged in 2024 with a back 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 $3,750.
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 $3,750 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,950
• Training provider fees: $1,550
• Essential household items: $250
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Stay strong, Alice. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Christchurch.
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Ekurhuleni.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Tallahassee.
rooting for you, Alice. Shared this with my family.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Yokohama donated after I showed her your page
Hope things get better soon, Alice. This could happen to any of us
