I served ten years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $750. 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 $750 goes: • Training provider fees: $320 • Transport to appointments: $50 • Housing deposit and first month: $380 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
