Help Jessica get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
An army veteran in Munich needs help with a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment after leaving service with a traumatic brain injury.
🇩🇪 Munich, Bavaria, Germany4,302 views
I served eight years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting eleven 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 $4,350.
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 $4,350 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,750
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,100
• Transport to appointments: $240
• Essential household items: $260
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hope things get better soon, Jessica. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Brasília this morning. God bless.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Munich!
Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Tampa.
Good luck, Jessica. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.

Praying for you, Jessica. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you, Jessica. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Ibadan
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 22 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything
take care, Jessica. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Pokhara.
