I served twelve years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2021 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $4,300.
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 $4,300 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,550
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,300
• Transport to appointments: $450
Thanks for reading all this.

Praying for you, Madelyn. Hope you get there. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Vancouver.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Cairo so I could bring a meal
