I served ten years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $350.
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 $350 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $220
• Transport to appointments: $40
• Essential household items: $90
Every share and every dollar helps.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Saket!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about housing deposit and first month, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.
Good luck, Deepa. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Hope this works out for you. Love from Toronto
Sending strength, Deepa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Johannesburg donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Wishing you the best, Deepa. I hope things turn around soon.
