Help Dylan get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training

I served six years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 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 deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $5,450.
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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $5,450 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,750
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,650
• Transport to appointments: $400
• Essential household items: $650
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace, Dylan. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 8 people at work. All the best.
thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Toulouse donated after I showed her your page.
You're not alone, Dylan. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
