🇩🇪 Baden-Württemberg, Germany1,132 views
I served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. 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 $2,050.
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 $2,050 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $370
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,250
• Essential household items: $430
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hang in there, Ingrid. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hang in there, Ingrid. I hope things turn around soon.
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Stay strong, Ingrid. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Love from Buenos Aires.
Keep going, Ingrid. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Looking forward to the next update. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
