I served fourteen years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2022 with a service-related knee 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 $3,800. 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 $3,800 goes: • Training provider fees: $3,050 • Transport to appointments: $300 • Essential household items: $450 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Ellie

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,148 in total) the plan for transport to appointments is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,040 in total) I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $1,001 raised so far (26%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

    Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
