Help Hugo get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training

I served four years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $4,450. 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 $4,450 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,400 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,450 • Transport to appointments: $370 • Essential household items: $230 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Hugo
