Deborah served ten years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. She has been waiting nine 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 $3,500. Deborah 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 $3,500 goes: • Essential household items: $280 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,000 • Training provider fees: $2,220 Thanks for reading all this. - John
