After twelve years of service, Maria is raising funds for a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.

Ezekiel served twelve years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. He has been waiting seven 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 $3,150.
Ezekiel is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Essential household items: $350
• Transport to appointments: $490
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,310
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Keep going. Hope you get there. Greetings from Cleveland
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ezekiel.
Essential household items is $350 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Hope things get better soon, Maria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Best of luck, Maria. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Dhaka this morning. Greetings from Dhaka
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
shared it with a few friends. After 27 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
your post was clear and honest. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
keep going, Maria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Sydney.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Mwanza donated after I showed her your page. Love from Mwanza.
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. All the best
Thinking of you, Maria. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
best of luck, Maria. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Sydney
Good luck, Maria. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
