I served four years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 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 $4,800.
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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $4,800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,400
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,750
• Transport to appointments: $320
• Essential household items: $330
If you're reading this, thank you.
