Help Cynthia get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
A marines veteran in Toronto needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with hearing damage and PTSD.

Hannah served four years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. She has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $5,450.
Hannah is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $5,450 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,900
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,700
• Transport to appointments: $300
• Essential household items: $550
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
