I served fourteen years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee 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 $650. 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 $650 goes: • Training provider fees: $330 • Housing deposit and first month: $160 • Transport to appointments: $45 • Essential household items: $115 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

                    So sorry you're going through this, Ishita. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Jakarta Barat but we're thinking of you.
