A service dog for Deepak, a marines veteran in Lucknow

A marines veteran in Lucknow needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with a traumatic brain injury.

I served six years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. 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 $950. 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 $950 goes: • Training provider fees: $450 • Housing deposit and first month: $360 • Transport to appointments: $70 • Essential household items: $70 Thank you so much.

Updates from Deepak

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($233 in total) the plan for transport to appointments is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Small update. $140 so far, the plan for housing deposit and first month is now scheduled.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($115 in total) I made the first payment toward training provider fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Praying for you, Deepak. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Likoni.

        Thinking of you and your family, Deepak. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

            Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Faisalabad donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
