I served twelve years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 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 deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $1,050.
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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Training provider fees: $510
• Housing deposit and first month: $360
• Transport to appointments: $85
• Essential household items: $95
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Chebet
Small update. $175 so far, the plan for transport to appointments is now scheduled.
Update from Likoni: I made the first payment toward housing deposit and first month. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($225 in total) I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Chebet

any update on how things are going in Likoni?
you're not alone. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
