I served fourteen years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 with a back 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 $5,050.
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 $5,050 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,350
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,700
• Transport to appointments: $370
• Essential household items: $630
Thanks for being kind about this.

you're not alone, Arianna. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Chattogram
how is Arianna doing now?
hope it all works out, Arianna. Hope you get there.
Take care, Arianna. 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. Love from Jimma
Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Cầu Giấy!
What exactly is the $5,050 for?
Sure. The biggest one is training provider fees, $2,350. 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.
This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
