Gayathri served ten years; now needs help to get home
An air force veteran in Coimbatore needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with chronic tinnitus.
🇮🇳 Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India1,321 views
I served ten years in the air force and was discharged in 2022 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting nine 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 $900.
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 $900 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $300
• Training provider fees: $490
• Transport to appointments: $110
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, Gayathri. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
How is Gayathri doing now?
Best of luck, Gayathri. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mukono.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gayathri.
Sure. The biggest one is housing deposit and first month, $300. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Mumbai.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best!
wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
wishing you peace, Gayathri. Hope this works out for you. Love from Mysuru.
