Help Amber get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
A navy veteran in Allentown needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with hearing damage and PTSD.
🇺🇸 Allentown, Pennsylvania, United States4,682 views
I served ten 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 $6,350.
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 $6,350 goes:
• Essential household items: $310
• Training provider fees: $3,800
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,240
Thanks for reading all this.

thinking of you, Amber. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Wishing you peace, Amber. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Good luck, Amber. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Amber. Looking forward to the next update.
