Katherine served twelve years; now needs help to get home
An engineering corps veteran in Winston-Salem needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with hearing damage and PTSD.
🇺🇸 Winston-Salem, North Carolina, United States1,435 views
I served twelve years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2025 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 $2,650.
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 $2,650 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,150
• Transport to appointments: $340
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,160
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 12 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Winston-Salem
best of luck, Katherine. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Thinking of you, Katherine. Hope you get there. Thinking of Winston-Salem.
Sending strength, Katherine. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Kinondoni
Keep going, Katherine. Hope this works out for you. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Katherine. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Praying for you, Katherine. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
