I served ten years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting nine 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 $400.
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 $400 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $95
• Essential household items: $95
• Training provider fees: $210
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

thinking of you and your family, Rekha. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up.
Your post was clear and honest. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Santos.
hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Take care, Rekha. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Ciudad de México
