I served twelve years in the navy and was discharged in 2025 with a back injury. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $6,850.
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 $6,850 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,600
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,250
• Transport to appointments: $490
• Essential household items: $510
Glad we found this place.

Hope it all works out, Pankaj. Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of San Jose.
wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!

Sending strength, Pankaj. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
