I served eight years in the marines and was discharged in 2025 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting nine 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 $4,800. 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 $4,800 goes: • Training provider fees: $1,900 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,850 • Transport to appointments: $630 • Essential household items: $420 Glad we found this place.

  • best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up.

    • good luck. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

        You're not alone, Walter. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope June is when things finally get easier.

        • Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to São Paulo so I could bring a meal.

          • hang in there, Walter. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
