Violet served six years; now needs help to get home
An engineering corps veteran in Shreveport needs help with a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment after leaving service with a service-related knee injury.

I served six years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $2,550.
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 $2,550 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,650
• Transport to appointments: $300
• Essential household items: $600
If you're reading this, thank you.

Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Mbale so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Kadıköy.
Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
