I served six years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $2,800.
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 $2,800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,150
• Transport to appointments: $310
• Essential household items: $340
With deep gratitude,
Lucas

Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Louisville.
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Lapu-Lapu.
Keep going, Lucas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Saket.
