Help Sharon get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
Sharon served six years in the navy; $4,450 would cover a first month of rent and transport to job interviews.
🇨🇦 Brampton, Ontario, Canada5,175 views
I served six years in the navy and was discharged in 2025 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 first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $4,450.
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 $4,450 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,950
• Housing deposit and first month: $950
• Transport to appointments: $230
• Essential household items: $320
Glad we found this place.

Hope you get there. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Saint-Denis.
hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in San Diego donated after I showed her your page
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Keep going, Sharon. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Good luck, Sharon. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
