I served four years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2023 with a back injury. 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 $6,100.
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 $6,100 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $420
• Training provider fees: $3,600
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,080
With deep gratitude,
Lawrence

Sending love. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Syracuse but we're thinking of you. Love from Syracuse
Sending love, Lawrence. This could happen to any of us. After 24 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Wishing you peace, Lawrence. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
