Help Victoria get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
An army veteran in Los Angeles needs help with a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment after leaving service with a service-related knee injury.

I served four years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $4,750.
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 $4,750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,400
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,450
• Transport to appointments: $430
• Essential household items: $470
If you're reading this, thank you.

praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 10 people at work.
What's already covered and what's the $4,750 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. training provider fees comes first ($1,400) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in El Paso this morning. All the best.
hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Take care
sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
wishing you peace, Victoria. Looking forward to the next update
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Los Angeles!
Hope it all works out, Victoria. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Kansas City.
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Nsukka.
