🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom2,529 views
I served four years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. 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 $5,000.
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 $5,000 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,750
• Training provider fees: $3,000
• Transport to appointments: $250
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope things get better soon, Delilah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. After 10 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
