I want to sincerely thank you in advance for taking your time to read my request post.
I’m a veteran with PTSD that has been through hell and back asking you to help me at this very moment get my life back.
I got an Honorable discharge in 2000, but got diagnosed with PTSD in 2021. I was left with my trauma untreated for all those years. I tried taking my own life a few times, but I guess you could say the universe had other plans for me. I could not function in my own head, likewise society. I tried many jobs to take care of my child and myself but I would leave those jobs because I will have a panic attack and become very depressed. I did not know at that time what was wrong with me, but I knew I was not okay. I knew working in those environments was part of the problem so I became self-employed.
I had my Massage business for a while in which I would go to people’s homes, workplaces or small events to provide my service. It was a very stressful but stable income, but I was able to provide a good life for my child and send her to college. There were still times when my symptom had me immobile, but I did not have to worry about being fired from my job. A lot of the time I thought of my child and worked through it.
In 2020 my heart could not take it anymore; and at age 42 I had a heart attack due to stress. I had to have two stents placed in my heart. I was told if I keep going the way I was, I would die. I was told about the VA Medical Programs in which I can get help by a Veteran friend. I didn’t even know such a program existed. I applied and was for VA benefits. I was then diagnosed with PTSD, insomnia, anxiety disorder, depression, and the list goes on. I was put on medication for the first time and had therapy. I feel like a person again. The fog in my head is clear and I know who I am and what I want. For the longest time I only existed, but now I feel like I’m living.
I have been in the job market trying to get remote entry level jobs in which they say they will train, but they will not hire me because I’m not qualified. I even went as far as applying for office entry level jobs in which I know I’m not ready for, but I need to start from somewhere l just need to be given a chance.
I really do not want to be put into a setting that could get me triggered and dismantle all of this progress I’ve made in my life, this is why I am asking you to help me reach my goal of $55,000 to start my small T-Shirt Business. I have my BA in Fashion Design so I want to use the skill I have in the area I know and not be told I am not qualified. This money will be going towards:
Equipment: Heat Press Machine
Computer and computer programs (Photoshop, Illustration and others)
Printer
Work Tables and Chair and supplies
Business and Wholesales licenses
Down payment for a car
I want to thank you again for your help and generosity. You have no idea how much it means to me to have your support. I don’t want not knowing how my bills are going to be paid to be the ghost that is now holding back from living a full and happy life.
