Veteran in need: Angela's next mission is stability
Angela served eight years in the marines; $4,950 would cover a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States3,823 views
I served eight years in the marines and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $4,950.
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 $4,950 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,150
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,850
• Transport to appointments: $270
• Essential household items: $680
Thanks for being kind about this.

how is Angela doing now?
hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 30 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Sukkur.
Shared this with my family. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
praying for you, Angela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Angela. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Belo Horizonte this morning. Thinking of Bakersfield.
Stay strong, Angela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
hope it all works out, Angela. Hope this works out for you. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Kathmandu
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bakersfield!
Thank you. If you're in Bakersfield I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
thinking of you, Angela. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Nairobi
Rooting for you, Angela. This could happen to any of us
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Hamilton donated after I showed her your page. Love from Hamilton.
So sorry you're going through this, Angela. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Angela. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Accra.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Southampton so I could bring a meal

Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up
