I served ten years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. 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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,700
• Training provider fees: $1,650
• Essential household items: $350
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. All the best!
sending love. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Lower Saxony. I'll ask around and let you know
Sending strength, Werner. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Love from Bengaluru.
best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Werner.
Housing deposit and first month is $1,700 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Sending strength, Werner. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Werner. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Haifa.
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Medellín!
sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Gujranwala so I could bring a meal.
Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Corpus Christi.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Hannover.
keep going. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Werner. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Thinking of Hannover
