Veteran in need: Piper's next mission is stability
A navy veteran in Ottawa needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with a back injury.
🇨🇦 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada1,149 views
I served fourteen years in the navy and was discharged in 2022 with a back injury. 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 $2,900.
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 $2,900 goes:
• Essential household items: $600
• Transport to appointments: $270
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,030
With deep gratitude,
Piper

is essential household items the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. essential household items is the big one at $600, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Hope things get better soon, Piper. Shared this with my family.
Rooting for you, Piper. Looking forward to the next update.
Praying for you, Piper. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Take care.
