Veteran in need: Carolina's next mission is stability
After four years of service, Carolina is raising funds for a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.
🇺🇸 Fort Worth, Texas, United States4,881 views
I served four years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting eleven 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 $4,450.
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 $4,450 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $410
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,900
• Training provider fees: $2,140
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Praying for you, Carolina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Thinking of Fort Worth.
Stay strong, Carolina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 30 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you the best, Carolina. This could happen to any of us. After 15 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Tokyo.
Take care, Carolina. I hope things turn around soon
Hang in there, Carolina. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Thinking of you, Carolina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Lagos.
