I served twelve years in the marines and was discharged in 2022 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 $750.
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 $750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $350
• Housing deposit and first month: $195
• Transport to appointments: $95
• Essential household items: $110
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Good luck. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of New Delhi.
