I served eight years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. 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 $2,200.
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 $2,200 goes:
โข Essential household items: $240
โข Transport to appointments: $300
โข Training provider fees: $1,660
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cynthia
It's all in the list in the story. essential household items is the big one at $240, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
