I served ten years in the air force and was discharged in 2021 with a service-related knee injury. 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 $2,350. 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 $2,350 goes: โ€ข Essential household items: $500 โ€ข Transport to appointments: $290 โ€ข Training provider fees: $1,560 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
