An engineering corps veteran in Mumbai needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with a service-related knee injury.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India607 views
Nilesh served fourteen years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. He has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a trained service dog and handler course. The quote comes to $800.
Nilesh is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $800 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $210
• Training provider fees: $490
• Essential household items: $100
Thanks for reading all this.

You're not alone, Sandesh. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Nilesh?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about housing deposit and first month, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 5 people at work.
gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nilesh.
Good luck, Sandesh. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
how is Nilesh doing now?
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Ahmedabad but we're thinking of you. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
