Help Balaji get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
After four years of service, Balaji is raising funds for a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.

I served four years in the air force and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. 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:
• Essential household items: $30
• Housing deposit and first month: $290
• Training provider fees: $430
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Kasarani donated after I showed her your page.
Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Mumbai.
Sending strength, Balaji. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update.
Sending strength. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
