Cambridge
I served fourteen years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $5,150. 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. I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden. Where the $5,150 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,950 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,600 • Transport to appointments: $370 • Essential household items: $230 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Noah

  1. Thank you all. We're at 54% now ($2,786). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for essential household items is now scheduled.

  2. We're at 28% thanks to 29 of you. I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

        Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Sukkur.

        • Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Eldoret this morning. Take care.

          • Thinking of you, Noah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

            • Thanks for sharing this, Noah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 23 people at work. Blessings.

                Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.

                • good luck, Noah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Alexandria
