I served ten years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 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 $6,100.
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 $6,100 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,250
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,000
• Transport to appointments: $270
• Essential household items: $580
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
