Veteran in need: Eitan's next mission is stability
An engineering corps veteran in Jerusalem needs help with a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment after leaving service with a traumatic brain injury.
🇮🇱 Jerusalem, Israel1,554 views
I served eight years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $4,450.
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 $4,450 goes:
• Essential household items: $240
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,150
• Training provider fees: $2,060
Thanks for reading all this.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Lucknow so I could bring a meal. All the best.
