I served ten years in the marines 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 deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $3,400. 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 $3,400 goes: • Training provider fees: $1,500 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,250 • Transport to appointments: $280 • Essential household items: $370 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Hope it all works out, Henry. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless

    • Dorcas Joyce Massawe

      thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care

        Keep going, Henry. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Gdańsk this morning. God bless.

        • Teklu Tewodros Kahsay

          Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings!

          • Levi P. McBride

            So sorry you're going through this, Henry. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Ikeja.

            • Sathi Rubina Begum

              hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of London.
