I served eight years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 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 $750. 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 $750 goes: • Training provider fees: $300 • Housing deposit and first month: $330 • Transport to appointments: $55 • Essential household items: $65 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Anand

Good news. Because of your gifts ($147 in total) the plan for housing deposit and first month is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Mumbai: the plan for essential household items is now scheduled. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
