Veteran in need: Jade's next mission is stability
A medical corps veteran in Boulogne-Billancourt needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with a traumatic brain injury.

I served ten years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $3,150.
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 $3,150 goes:
• Essential household items: $390
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,600
• Training provider fees: $1,160
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family, Jade. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. All the best.
thanks for sharing this, Jade. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
