Help Étienne get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
A marines veteran in Marseille needs help with a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment after leaving service with a service-related knee injury.

I served fourteen years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $4,050.
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 $4,050 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,350
• Housing deposit and first month: $790
• Transport to appointments: $380
• Essential household items: $530
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Alcalá de Henares.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Atlanta so I could bring a meal. God bless
Sending good thoughts, Étienne. Shared this with my family. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Mar del Plata donated after I showed her your page. All the best!
