Evelyn served six years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. She has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $2,350. Evelyn 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 $2,350 goes: • Transport to appointments: $410 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,400 • Essential household items: $540 I hope life is good to you. - Terry

        • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Evelyn

          • Terry GarciaOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

            Sure. The biggest one is transport to appointments, $410. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
