I served six years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 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 $6,450.
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 $6,450 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,350
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,400
• Transport to appointments: $280
• Essential household items: $420
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

You're not alone, Bennett. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Bennett. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Wishing you peace, Bennett. Hope you get there. After 16 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hang in there, Bennett. Gave what I could, wish it was more
thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Moscow so I could bring a meal. Love from Istanbul
