I served fourteen years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with a back injury. 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 $350.
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 $350 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $35
• Essential household items: $30
• Training provider fees: $285
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you peace, Yewande. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yewande
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. transport to appointments comes first ($35) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to San Sebastián so I could bring a meal. Love from Dnipro.
Praying for you, Yewande. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Hamilton
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Awka.
