Help Mahesh get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
After twelve years of service, Mahesh is raising funds for 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 fourteen 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 $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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $450 goes:
• Essential household items: $100
• Housing deposit and first month: $300
• Transport to appointments: $50
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family, Mahesh. Hope you get there. Thinking of Hubballi.

Praying for you, Mahesh. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in San Antonio this morning. Blessings.
