I served four years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting eleven 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 $800. 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 $800 goes: • Training provider fees: $220 • Housing deposit and first month: $410 • Transport to appointments: $75 • Essential household items: $95 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Ravi

            thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. After 18 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.

              Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
