I served six years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with a back injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $1,100.
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 $1,100 goes:
• Essential household items: $105
• Training provider fees: $570
• Housing deposit and first month: $425
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Rawalpindi this morning. Greetings from Rawalpindi
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
