I served six years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $4,300.
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 $4,300 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,200
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,450
• Essential household items: $650
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this, Hailey. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Yonkers.
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Chennai so I could bring a meal!
