I served eight years in the army and was discharged in 2024 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 first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $3,400.
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 $3,400 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $300
• Essential household items: $370
• Training provider fees: $2,730
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hang in there, Élodie. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Wollongong
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Kelowna
Praying for you, Élodie. This could happen to any of us
Sending love, Élodie. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
