I served six years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $4,350.
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 $4,350 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,200
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,600
• Essential household items: $550
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Hatem. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending good thoughts, Hatem. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
