Alka served twelve years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. She has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $4,950.
Alka is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $4,950 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,000
• Housing deposit and first month: $930
• Transport to appointments: $460
• Essential household items: $560
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
stay strong, Ashok. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
sending good thoughts, Ashok. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 24 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
hang in there, Ashok. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Ashok. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Lucknow
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Ashok. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Thinking of you and your family, Ashok. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Austin.
