Help Abhishek get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
An air force veteran in Hyderabad needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with a service-related knee injury.
🇮🇳 Hyderabad, Telangana, India1,739 views
I served ten years in the air force 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 vocational welding course and tools. 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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $900 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $85
• Housing deposit and first month: $270
• Training provider fees: $545
I hope life is good to you.
- Abhishek

Sending strength, Abhishek. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Paris.
good luck, Abhishek. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Thinking of you, Abhishek. This could happen to any of us. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
