I served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $2,300. 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 $2,300 goes: • Essential household items: $250 • Training provider fees: $1,800 • Transport to appointments: $250 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Frank
