Upendo served fourteen years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. She has been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $1,050.
Upendo 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 $1,050 goes:
• Training provider fees: $540
• Housing deposit and first month: $350
• Transport to appointments: $35
• Essential household items: $125
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
