I served ten years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting seven 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 $2,750.
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 $2,750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,650
• Housing deposit and first month: $830
• Transport to appointments: $270
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Waylon
Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($220). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for transport to appointments is now scheduled.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Waylon?
Thank you. If you're in Rockford I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Your post was clear and honest. Love from Iași.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Rockford.
rooting for you, Waylon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
