I served twelve years in the air force and was discharged in 2022 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $500.
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 $500 goes:
• Training provider fees: $270
• Housing deposit and first month: $155
• Essential household items: $75
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

thanks for sharing this, Samuel. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hang in there, Samuel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Chiang Mai
stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted.
Sending good thoughts, Samuel. Hope this works out for you. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Dhaka.
