I served twelve years in the infantry and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain 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 $5,950.
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 $5,950 goes:
• Essential household items: $700
• Training provider fees: $3,000
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,250
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Varanasi.
best of luck, Solène. Shared it with a few friends. After 28 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
