I served ten years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2022 with hearing damage and PTSD. 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 $4,750.
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 $4,750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,700
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,200
• Transport to appointments: $250
• Essential household items: $600
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Nora
Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($1,008). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

good luck, Nora. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together.
Thinking of you and your family, Nora. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Nottingham.
Sending strength, Nora. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Scranton
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Hyderabad.
hang in there, Nora. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best!
