Mahesh served eight years; now needs help to get home
After eight years of service, Mahesh is raising funds for a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India2,243 views
I served eight years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $950.
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 $950 goes:
• Training provider fees: $490
• Housing deposit and first month: $300
• Transport to appointments: $65
• Essential household items: $95
Glad we found this place.
