I served eight years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. 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 $700. 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 $700 goes: • Training provider fees: $300 • Housing deposit and first month: $250 • Transport to appointments: $65 • Essential household items: $85 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Godwin

Good news. Because of your gifts ($400 in total) the plan for essential household items is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
