I served four years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting eleven 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 $3,950.
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 $3,950 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,650
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,100
• Transport to appointments: $560
• Essential household items: $640
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Inés.
It's all in the list in the story. training provider fees is the big one at $1,650, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update!
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 18 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Stay strong, Inés. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted.
hang in there, Inés. Shared this with my family. Blessings
