I served fourteen years in the navy and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. 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 $2,900.
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 $2,900 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,250
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,150
• Transport to appointments: $220
• Essential household items: $280
Thanks for reading all this.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
praying for you, Kobi. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Tel Aviv.
