I served twelve years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $800. 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 $800 goes: • Training provider fees: $280 • Housing deposit and first month: $420 • Transport to appointments: $50 • Essential household items: $50 Every share and every dollar helps. - John

    Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 8 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Austin.

      Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
