Miles served twelve years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. He has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $4,350.
Miles is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $4,350 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,950
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,500
• Transport to appointments: $520
• Essential household items: $380
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Love from Puebla.
Best of luck, Lily. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Warsaw.
Keep going, Lily. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Rochester.
