I served eight years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 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 $600.
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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $600 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $290
• Training provider fees: $230
• Essential household items: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Petrópolis.
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Macharia. Shared this with my family. Greetings from San Jose.
Sending love, Macharia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together.
hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 16 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Kisumu.
Best of luck, Macharia. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
