Alexandra served fourteen years in the army and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. She has been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $2,350. Alexandra is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $2,350 goes: • Housing deposit and first month: $1,450 • Transport to appointments: $300 • Essential household items: $600 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Gabriel
