Help Leo get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
An army veteran in Raleigh needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with post-traumatic stress.
🇺🇸 Raleigh, North Carolina, United States1,212 views
I served six years in the army 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 first month of rent and transport to job interviews. 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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $4,000 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,600
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,350
• Transport to appointments: $490
• Essential household items: $560
Thanks for reading all this.

wishing you the best, Leo. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Stellenbosch.
any update on how things are going in Raleigh?
hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Warsaw this morning. All the best.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from San Jose.
