Veteran in need: Serenity's next mission is stability
A medical corps veteran in San Francisco needs help with a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment after leaving service with a back injury.
🇺🇸 California, United States3,982 views
I served fourteen years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. 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 $2,950.
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 $2,950 goes:
• Essential household items: $570
• Transport to appointments: $240
• Training provider fees: $2,140
I hope life is good to you.

Thanks for sharing this, Serenity. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care
hang in there. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. God bless
You're not alone, Serenity. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Serenity
It's all in the list in the story. essential household items is the big one at $570, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
Hope it all works out, Serenity. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Regensburg.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 8 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless!
You're not alone, Serenity. Shared it with a few friends. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Serenity. Shared this with my family. God bless
you're not alone, Serenity. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
Wishing you the best, Serenity. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. After 19 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
