I served twelve years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $700.
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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $700 goes:
• Training provider fees: $210
• Housing deposit and first month: $350
• Transport to appointments: $50
• Essential household items: $90
Every share and every dollar helps.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Thiruvananthapuram.
Thank you. If you're in Thiruvananthapuram I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Nsukka
so sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Bornova.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Thinking of Thiruvananthapuram.
Wishing you the best, Sachin. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from 6th of October City.

Rooting for you, Sachin. Hope this works out for you.
Thinking of you, Sachin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Sending love, Sachin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Thinking of you, Sachin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless!
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Austin
