I served ten years in the infantry and was discharged in 2024 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 deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $5,650. 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 $5,650 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,550 • Housing deposit and first month: $2,250 • Transport to appointments: $530 • Essential household items: $320 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Rubén

    Good luck, Rubén. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt

        Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Pietermaritzburg
