I served fourteen years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting seven 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 $4,100.
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 $4,100 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,600
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,850
• Transport to appointments: $210
• Essential household items: $440
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Paula. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings

Thinking of you. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
thinking of you, Paula. Shared it with a few friends. After 16 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Munich.
