I served four years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2022 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting seven 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 $5,350.
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 $5,350 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,750
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,700
• Transport to appointments: $460
• Essential household items: $440
With deep gratitude,
Pilar

Good luck, Pilar. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Pilar!
Sure. The biggest one is training provider fees, $2,750. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
Wishing you the best, Pilar. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 11 people at work.
Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Corpus Christi!
Rooting for you, Pilar. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Take care, Pilar. This could happen to any of us. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Albany

Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
