Help Geetha get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
Geetha served twelve years in the air force; $700 would cover a vocational welding course and tools.

I served twelve years in the air force and was discharged in 2023 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 $700.
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 $700 goes:
• Training provider fees: $320
• Housing deposit and first month: $250
• Transport to appointments: $75
• Essential household items: $55
Glad we found this place.

how is Geetha doing now?
Sending strength, Geetha. Your post was clear and honest.
So sorry you're going through this, Geetha. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Geetha?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about training provider fees, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thinking of you and your family, Geetha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 4 people at work. Thinking of Mumbai.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
So sorry you're going through this, Geetha. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Bangkok.
