I served six years in the marines and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place. I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $4,850. 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 $4,850 goes: • Training provider fees: $3,150 • Essential household items: $580 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,120 Thanks for reading all this. - Kaylee

                  Best of luck, Kaylee. This could happen to any of us. After 8 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
