I served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $3,750.
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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,100
• Housing deposit and first month: $930
• Transport to appointments: $230
• Essential household items: $490
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Agnès?
Thank you. If you're in Amiens I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Hope it all works out, Agnès. Hope you get there. Take care
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
praying for you, Agnès. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning.
So sorry you're going through this, Agnès. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
