Veteran in need: Brielle's next mission is stability
After twelve years of service, Brielle is raising funds for a first month of rent and transport to job interviews.
🇳🇿 Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand2,369 views
I served twelve years in the navy and was discharged in 2021 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $5,000.
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 $5,000 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,400
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,000
• Transport to appointments: $195
• Essential household items: $405
Glad we found this place.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Bonny but we're thinking of you.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Thinking of Auckland.
thinking of you and your family, Brielle. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Bakersfield.
Sending love, Brielle. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Málaga.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Thanks for sharing this, Brielle. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours.
Sending strength, Brielle. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
