I served twelve years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $950. 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 $950 goes: • Essential household items: $65 • Training provider fees: $580 • Housing deposit and first month: $305 If you're reading this, thank you.

    So sorry you're going through this, Manoj. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
