A service dog for Yamuna, a navy veteran in Madurai
Yamuna served ten years in the navy; $500 would cover a first month of rent and transport to job interviews.

I served ten years in the navy and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee 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 $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:
• Housing deposit and first month: $185
• Essential household items: $50
• Training provider fees: $265
If you're reading this, thank you.

You're not alone, Yamuna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Oakland donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
so sorry you're going through this, Yamuna. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Yamuna. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Hamburg.
