Nolan served ten years in the air force and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. He has been waiting eleven 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 $4,200. Nolan 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 $4,200 goes: • Training provider fees: $1,500 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,700 • Transport to appointments: $370 • Essential household items: $630 Thanks for reading all this. - Michelle
