Veteran in need: Craig's next mission is stability

I served four years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $4,300. 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 $4,300 goes: • Transport to appointments: $340 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,200 • Training provider fees: $2,760 With deep gratitude, Craig

Updates from Craig

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,433 in total) I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
