I served four years in the army 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 first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $450.
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 $450 goes:
• Training provider fees: $360
• Essential household items: $35
• Transport to appointments: $55
I hope life is good to you.

Sending good thoughts, Karthik. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 9 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Setagaya.

Hope things get better soon, Karthik. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Makati but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Aurangabad.
Sending love, Karthik. Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Love from Mohammedia.
