I served four years in the navy and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $5,100. 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 $5,100 goes: • Transport to appointments: $210 • Training provider fees: $3,400 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,490 Glad we found this place. - Pamela
