Luna served eight years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. She has been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $2,850. Luna is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $2,850 goes: • Transport to appointments: $300 • Essential household items: $350 • Housing deposit and first month: $2,200 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Raymond
