I served ten years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $850.
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 $850 goes:
• Training provider fees: $320
• Housing deposit and first month: $340
• Transport to appointments: $100
• Essential household items: $90
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Anand?
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Kadıköy
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Anand
It's all in the list in the story. training provider fees is the big one at $320, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Pune
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
good luck. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Pune!
