Help Santiago get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
A marines veteran in Southampton needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with hearing damage and PTSD.
🇬🇧 Southampton, England, United Kingdom289 views
Leah served eight years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. She has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $2,100.
Leah is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $2,100 goes:
• Essential household items: $390
• Transport to appointments: $360
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,350
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

You're not alone, Santiago. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Port Harcourt but we're thinking of you. Love from Port Harcourt
sending strength, Santiago. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Augsburg!
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
You're not alone, Santiago. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Faisalabad!
