I served four years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. 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 $3,500. 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 $3,500 goes: • Training provider fees: $1,400 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,250 • Transport to appointments: $320 • Essential household items: $530 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Jose

Updates from Jose

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($734 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
