Shankar served fourteen years in the infantry and was discharged in 2022 with a service-related knee injury. He has been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $400.
Shankar 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 $400 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $250
• Transport to appointments: $75
• Essential household items: $75
Thank you for reading my story.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Shankar.
Sure. The biggest one is housing deposit and first month, $250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
Praying for you, Anjana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Mumbai.
Rooting for you, Anjana. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
