I served four years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place. I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $1,600. 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 $1,600 goes: • Transport to appointments: $200 • Housing deposit and first month: $840 • Essential household items: $560 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Rainer

  1. Quick update: $573 raised so far (36%). the plan for transport to appointments is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($262 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Dallas.

      Praying for you, Rainer. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.

        I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Stuttgart

          You're not alone, Rainer. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend

            Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
