I served twelve years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $4,500. 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. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $4,500 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,450 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,550 • Transport to appointments: $250 • Essential household items: $250 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Ruth

      Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Bronx donated after I showed her your page.

            Wishing you the best, Ruth. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
