Help Rashmi get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
After six years of service, Rashmi is raising funds for a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.

I served six years in the army and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $3,700.
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 $3,700 goes:
• Essential household items: $380
• Training provider fees: $3,050
• Transport to appointments: $270
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Rashmi. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 23 people at work. Thinking of Hamilton
Thinking of you and your family, Rashmi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Niterói but we're thinking of you.
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Recife.
Thinking of you, Rashmi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rashmi.
It's all in the list in the story. essential household items is the big one at $380, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Hamilton
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Rashmi?
Hope it all works out, Rashmi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Hamilton!

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Wudil so I could bring a meal.
