Veteran in need: Jyoti's next mission is stability
A navy veteran in Austin needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with post-traumatic stress.
🇺🇸 United States5,110 views
I served ten years in the navy and was discharged in 2024 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 vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $5,350.
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 $5,350 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,300
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,000
• Transport to appointments: $430
• Essential household items: $620
Thank you so much.
