Veteran in need: Miles's next mission is stability

I served twelve years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting eleven 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 $3,700.
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 $3,700 goes:
• Essential household items: $320
• Transport to appointments: $200
• Training provider fees: $3,180
Glad we found this place.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care!
Thinking of you and your family, Miles. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Bahir Dar.
Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Vigo this morning.
You're not alone, Miles. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Quezon City donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Miles. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
