Help Leonid get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
After ten years of service, Leonid is raising funds for a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.
🇺🇦 Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine1,447 views
I served ten years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting seven 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 $800.
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 $800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $380
• Housing deposit and first month: $250
• Transport to appointments: $75
• Essential household items: $95
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Leonid.
shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
any update on how things are going in Kyiv?
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
