I served fourteen years in the marines and was discharged in 2022 with a traumatic brain 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 $2,400. 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 $2,400 goes: • Transport to appointments: $460 • Essential household items: $440 • Training provider fees: $1,500 Thank you for reading my story. - Wafa

            Rooting for you, Wafa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
