I served twelve years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $2,250.
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 $2,250 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $420
• Essential household items: $390
• Training provider fees: $1,440
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this, Peyton. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Semarang but we're thinking of you.
Rooting for you, Peyton. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours.
Wishing you peace, Peyton. Your post was clear and honest.
Take care, Peyton. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
wishing you the best, Peyton. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
