I served twelve years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 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 $5,050. 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 $5,050 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,100 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,950 • Transport to appointments: $490 • Essential household items: $510 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Javier

Updates from Javier

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,807 in total) I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of San Diego.
