I served ten years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting nine 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 $650.
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 $650 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $45
• Training provider fees: $250
• Housing deposit and first month: $355
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Warri
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transport to appointments, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
Wishing you peace, Esther. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Esther. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 37 people at work.
Rooting for you, Esther. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Stay strong, Esther. Shared this with my family. After 10 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Thinking of you, Esther. I hope things turn around soon
