I served six years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting eleven 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 $2,650.
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 $2,650 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,100
• Essential household items: $210
• Training provider fees: $1,340
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family, Lincoln. Hope you get there. Don't give up
Good luck, Lincoln. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Lincoln?
Thank you. If you're in Baton Rouge I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Shared this with my family. Sent it to 4 people at work. Blessings.
thinking of you and your family, Lincoln. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lincoln.
Housing deposit and first month is $1,100 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Vadodara.
Hope things get better soon, Lincoln. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Baton Rouge
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Bonny.
