Inés served twelve years; now needs help to get home
A navy veteran in Philadelphia needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with post-traumatic stress.
🇺🇸 United States1,710 views
I served twelve years in the navy and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $2,850.
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 $2,850 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,950
• Essential household items: $230
• Transport to appointments: $670
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
