I served six years in the army and was discharged in 2025 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 vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $650. 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 $650 goes: • Training provider fees: $230 • Housing deposit and first month: $270 • Transport to appointments: $55 • Essential household items: $95 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

      Best of luck, Yamini. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Dammam
