Emily served four years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. She has been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $5,150.
Emily 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 $5,150 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,750
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,700
• Transport to appointments: $310
• Essential household items: $390
With deep gratitude,
Keith

Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($1,209). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward training provider fees.

Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 27 people at work. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Keith. I hope things turn around soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Thinking of you and your family, Keith. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Keith. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Best of luck, Keith. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Cali.
