Help Anna get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
Anna served ten years in the marines; $2,900 would cover a first month of rent and transport to job interviews.

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.

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.

Stay strong, Anna. Shared this with my family.
praying for you, Anna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 31 people at work.
Take care, Anna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Wishing you the best, Anna. Hope this works out for you. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Anna. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Leicester.
stay strong, Anna. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Keep going, Anna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
