Victoria served ten years; now needs help to get home
After ten years of service, Victoria is raising funds for a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States1,982 views
I served ten years in the infantry and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting seven 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 $4,200.
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 $4,200 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,350
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,150
• Transport to appointments: $400
• Essential household items: $300
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

this could happen to any of us. Greetings from Tel Aviv.
You're not alone, Victoria. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Victoria
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. training provider fees is the biggest at $1,350. It helps to be asked.

Your post was clear and honest. After 28 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
