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.

        • Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.

            • Thanks for sharing this, Terry. Hope you get there. Blessings.

                  Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transport to appointments, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
