I served six years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2022 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $4,300.
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 $4,300 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,800
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,100
• Essential household items: $400
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hang in there, Brian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of London
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Busan
rooting for you, Brian. This could happen to any of us.
