Ishita served eight years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with chronic tinnitus. She has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $300. Ishita is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden. Where the $300 goes: • Transport to appointments: $75 • Training provider fees: $175 • Essential household items: $50 Thank you for reading my story. - Rakesh
