Nuremberg
I served ten years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place. I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $4,000. 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 $4,000 goes: • Training provider fees: $3,250 • Transport to appointments: $360 • Essential household items: $390 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
