Petra served six years; now needs help to get home
An army veteran in Kassel needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with a traumatic brain injury.
🇩🇪 Kassel, Hesse, GermanyPosted Sep 30, 20262,342 views
Günter served six years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. He has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $4,150.
Günter is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $4,150 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,150
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,150
• Transport to appointments: $420
• Essential household items: $430
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

sending love, Petra. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Thinking of Kassel
is there anything that isn't money that would help Günter?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about training provider fees, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 24 people at work. Take care.
Is there any paperwork, like the training provider quote, that backs this up?
I sent the training provider quote in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week. Let me know if you want more detail.
thanks for sharing this, Petra. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Petra. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Günter.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. Love from Durgapur.
Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
So sorry you're going through this, Petra. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Jaipur so I could bring a meal. Take care
