An infantry veteran in San Jose needs help with a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment after leaving service with post-traumatic stress.

Janet served fourteen years in the infantry and was discharged in 2025 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 $5,350.
Janet is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $5,350 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,150
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,350
• Transport to appointments: $250
• Essential household items: $600
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Palmira this morning
Praying for you, James. Your post was clear and honest. After 11 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Hang in there, James. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
