I served four years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $650.
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 $650 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $200
• Training provider fees: $390
• Essential household items: $60
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

So sorry you're going through this, Lakshmi. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up!
Best of luck. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Nagpur.
