Marta served ten years; now needs help to get home
Marta served ten years in the navy; $2,900 would cover a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.
🇺🇸 Austin, Texas, United States2,183 views
I served ten years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee 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 $2,900.
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 $2,900 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,400
• Transport to appointments: $480
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,020
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Marta. Your post was clear and honest
thanks for sharing this, Marta. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Austin
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Yogyakarta so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Keep going, Marta. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Mesa this morning. Thinking of Austin
