I served eight years in the army and was discharged in 2022 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $4,300.
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 $4,300 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $950
• Training provider fees: $3,000
• Transport to appointments: $350
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

thinking of you, Maverick. Your post was clear and honest
You're not alone, Maverick. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you peace, Maverick. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Jacksonville.
Hang in there, Maverick. Hope you get there. Love from Chiang Mai.
Praying for you, Maverick. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Nagpur but we're thinking of you. Love from Nagpur
