I served twelve years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. 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 $550. 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 $550 goes: โ€ข Housing deposit and first month: $220 โ€ข Transport to appointments: $75 โ€ข Training provider fees: $255 Thanks for being kind about this.
