I served fourteen years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2025 with a back injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $1,050. 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 $1,050 goes: • Training provider fees: $520 • Housing deposit and first month: $340 • Transport to appointments: $90 • Essential household items: $100 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Harish

  1. Update from Mumbai: I made the first payment toward housing deposit and first month. We're at 32% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. 29% there. I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($60 in total) I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Take care, Harish. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings

      sending good thoughts, Harish. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
