I served ten years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with a service-related knee 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 $4,450.
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 $4,450 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,750
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,050
• Transport to appointments: $320
• Essential household items: $330

This could happen to any of us. Love from Indore.
Praying for you, Zoe. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from London
Hang in there, Zoe. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Bloemfontein this morning. Blessings
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Fortaleza.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Taguig

Stay strong, Zoe. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
