Help Irmak get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
An army veteran in Regensburg needs help with a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment after leaving service with a service-related knee injury.
🇩🇪 Bavaria, Germany2,142 views
Furkan served fourteen years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. He has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $2,300.
Furkan is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,450
• Essential household items: $350
• Transport to appointments: $500
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Irmak
Update from Regensburg: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 20% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($277 in total) I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($212). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

Thinking of you. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Regensburg.
Hang in there, Irmak. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Irmak. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope things get better soon, Irmak. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
