I served eight years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $3,750. 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 $3,750 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,850 • Transport to appointments: $330 • Essential household items: $570 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Parker

    wishing you peace, Parker. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

      Wishing you peace, Parker. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.

        Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. After 16 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
