After six years of service, Vinod is raising funds for a first month of rent and transport to job interviews.

I served six years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $800.
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 $800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $500
• Housing deposit and first month: $190
• Transport to appointments: $65
• Essential household items: $45
With deep gratitude,
Vinod

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Vinod?
Thank you. If you're in Kota I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vinod.
Sure. The biggest one is training provider fees, $500. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
Wishing you peace, Vinod. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up
stay strong, Vinod. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Cali.
