Savannah served eight years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. She has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $5,050.
Savannah is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $5,050 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,750
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,950
• Transport to appointments: $350
Thanks for being kind about this.
