I served six years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $350.
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 $350 goes:
• Essential household items: $30
• Housing deposit and first month: $270
• Transport to appointments: $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

So sorry you're going through this, Manoj. 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. Greetings from San Fernando.
