I served four years in the marines and was discharged in 2022 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting eleven 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 $2,750. 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 $2,750 goes: • Essential household items: $240 • Training provider fees: $1,500 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,010 Thank you for reading my story.

    You're not alone, Vivian. Hope you get there. After 15 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.

        Is there anything that isn't money that would help Vivian?

              Have you tried the local rotary club? They sometimes help with part of this!
