Help Mackenzie get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
A marines veteran in Cleveland needs help with a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment after leaving service with post-traumatic stress.

I served ten years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $5,250.
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 $5,250 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,950
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,550
• Transport to appointments: $480
• Essential household items: $270
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, Mackenzie. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together.
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Manchester.

Rooting for you, Mackenzie. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Thinking of you and your family, Mackenzie. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Riverside donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Leeds but we're thinking of you.
