I served eight years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $5,250.
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 $5,250 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,600
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,050
• Transport to appointments: $270
• Essential household items: $330
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
