I served four years in the army 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 first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $3,750.
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 $3,750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,450
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,400
• Transport to appointments: $480
• Essential household items: $420
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kamal
Thinking of you, Kamal. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Üsküdar.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Vitória da Conquista.
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Newcastle upon Tyne so I could bring a meal.
Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Kamal. Shared this with my family. After 12 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
