I served twelve years in the marines and was discharged in 2022 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place. I have a plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $350. 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 $350 goes: • Transport to appointments: $65 • Essential household items: $85 • Housing deposit and first month: $200 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Atul

  1. Small update. $60 so far, I made the first payment toward housing deposit and first month.
