I served twelve years in the air force and was discharged in 2023 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 vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $5,050.
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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $5,050 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,800
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,550
• Transport to appointments: $380
• Essential household items: $320
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 33 people at work.
I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Jacksonville so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Sukkur.
