I served six years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting seven 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 $4,550. 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 $4,550 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,950 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,100 • Transport to appointments: $270 • Essential household items: $230 Every share and every dollar helps. - Cameron

  • best of luck, Cameron. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from London.
