Balaji served twelve years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. He has been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a trained service dog and handler course. The quote comes to $600.
Balaji 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: $230
• Housing deposit and first month: $230
• Transport to appointments: $75
• Essential household items: $65
With deep gratitude,
Sangeetha

Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Aurora so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Mumbai.
Rooting for you, Sangeetha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
