Ariana served ten years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. She has been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $5,000.
Ariana is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $5,000 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,400
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,750
• Transport to appointments: $600
• Essential household items: $250
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Lethbridge this morning. Greetings from Lethbridge.
So sorry you're going through this, Joshua. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ariana
It's all in the list in the story. training provider fees is the big one at $2,400, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.

Hang in there, Joshua. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier

Thinking of you, Joshua. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
