Karthik served eight years in the army and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. He has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $600.
Karthik is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $600 goes:
• Training provider fees: $200
• Housing deposit and first month: $250
• Transport to appointments: $45
• Essential household items: $105
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you, Manikandan. I hope things turn around soon.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Soweto.
Sending good thoughts, Manikandan. Hope you get there
Take care, Manikandan. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Campinas donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Chennai.
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Karachi but we're thinking of you.
Hope it all works out, Manikandan. Hope you get there. All the best
this could happen to any of us. Love from Los Angeles.
