Help Hong get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
After fourteen years of service, Hong is raising funds for a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.
🇨🇦 Hamilton, Ontario, Canada3,478 views
I served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting seven 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 $3,800.
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 $3,800 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,250
• Training provider fees: $1,200
• Essential household items: $350
Glad we found this place.
