I served four years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $3,800.
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 $3,800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,650
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,300
• Transport to appointments: $400
• Essential household items: $450
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 18 people at work.
Stay strong, Héctor. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
good luck, Héctor. Hope this works out for you. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
