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. - Mussa
