I served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $4,100. 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 $4,100 goes: • Housing deposit and first month: $2,150 • Training provider fees: $1,500 • Transport to appointments: $450 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Nathan

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($724 in total) the plan for training provider fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. We're at 21% thanks to 20 of you. I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

    is housing deposit and first month the biggest cost or is there more coming?

    • Nathan D. FigueroaOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. housing deposit and first month comes first ($2,150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
