Durgapur
I served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2022 with a back injury. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place. I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $500. 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 $500 goes: • Training provider fees: $230 • Housing deposit and first month: $175 • Transport to appointments: $50 • Essential household items: $45 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Sabbir

    Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      Hope you get there. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.

        sending love, Sabbir. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. All the best.

          Hang in there, Sabbir. Hope this works out for you. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
