Rohini
I served eight years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $850. 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 $850 goes: • Training provider fees: $440 • Housing deposit and first month: $220 • Transport to appointments: $75 • Essential household items: $115 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Sumon

    The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.

    Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 21 people at work. Thinking of Rohini.

      Wishing you peace, Sumon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Gqeberha donated after I showed her your page. God bless!

        keep going, Sumon. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
