Veteran in need: Mateusz's next mission is stability
After eight years of service, Mateusz is raising funds for a first month of rent and transport to job interviews.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom4,930 views
I served eight years in the infantry 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 first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $4,700.
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 $4,700 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,050
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,700
• Transport to appointments: $370
• Essential household items: $580
With deep gratitude,
Mateusz

sending strength, Mateusz. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best!
Wishing you peace, Mateusz. Your post was clear and honest. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Take care
hang in there, Mateusz. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
