I served ten years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 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 first month of rent and transport to job interviews. 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. I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden. Where the $2,900 goes: • Transport to appointments: $350 • Training provider fees: $2,300 • Essential household items: $250 Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Anna

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,056 in total) I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
