Wyatt served eight years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. He has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $4,600. Wyatt is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden. Where the $4,600 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,500 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,100 • Transport to appointments: $550 • Essential household items: $450 Every share and every dollar helps. - Scarlett
