A service dog for Amélie, an engineering corps veteran in Boulogne-Billancourt
An engineering corps veteran in Boulogne-Billancourt needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with hearing damage and PTSD.
🇫🇷 France2,862 views
I served ten years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2025 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $3,900.
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 $3,900 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,300
• Essential household items: $175
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,425
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Auckland.
Best of luck, Amélie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
