I served four years in the army and was discharged in 2023 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 $2,300.
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 $2,300 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,800
• Essential household items: $300
• Transport to appointments: $200
With deep gratitude,
Monika

You're not alone, Monika. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Gangnam.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Nuremberg.
Thinking of you and your family, Monika. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Nuremberg
