Veteran in need: Lillian's next mission is stability

I served four years in the infantry and was discharged in 2024 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $5,200.
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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $5,200 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,250
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,350
• Transport to appointments: $360
• Essential household items: $240
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there, Lillian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending good thoughts, Lillian. This could happen to any of us. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
You're not alone, Lillian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Lillian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Los Angeles
Thinking of you and your family, Lillian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Dammam.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City
