Lydia served twelve years; now needs help to get home
After twelve years of service, Lydia is raising funds for a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.
🇺🇸 Fresno, California, United States5,506 views
I served twelve years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $5,150.
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 $5,150 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,800
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,400
• Transport to appointments: $330
• Essential household items: $620
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there, Lydia. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Fresno.
Thinking of you, Lydia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Fresno.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Lahore.
Sending good thoughts, Lydia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Columbus but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Columbus.
