I served six years in the air force and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee 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 $4,850. 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 $4,850 goes: • Essential household items: $630 • Housing deposit and first month: $2,350 • Training provider fees: $1,870 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Asher

  1. Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($509). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Update from Derry: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. 3% there. I made the first payment toward essential household items. Thank you.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Asher!

    • Asher FergusonOwnerAnswerAddress verified

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. essential household items comes first ($630) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
