Veteran in need: Mary's next mission is stability
After fourteen years of service, Mary is raising funds for a first month of rent and transport to job interviews.

I served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $700.
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 $700 goes:
• Training provider fees: $370
• Housing deposit and first month: $210
• Transport to appointments: $40
• Essential household items: $80
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Mary. Hope this works out for you. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
best of luck, Mary. Your post was clear and honest. After 8 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you peace, Mary. Looking forward to the next update. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Entebbe.
Sending love, Mary. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
best of luck, Mary. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Mesa
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Embakasi.
Sending love, Mary. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
Good luck, Mary. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Your post was clear and honest. Love from Saint Petersburg
Praying for you, Mary. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
