I served four years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a trained service dog and handler course. The quote I have comes to $900.
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 $900 goes:
• Training provider fees: $500
• Housing deposit and first month: $300
• Transport to appointments: $55
• Essential household items: $45
Thanks for reading all this.

Stay strong, Nithya. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Durgapur.
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Nagpur.
Wishing you peace, Nithya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
How is Nithya doing now?

Keep going, Nithya. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Kanpur so I could bring a meal. Love from Chennai
stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Bronx but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Best of luck, Nithya. This could happen to any of us. God bless!
So sorry you're going through this, Nithya. Shared this with my family. After 14 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Durgapur.
Best of luck, Nithya. Shared it with a few friends.
hope it all works out, Nithya. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Belfast.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Durgapur!
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending strength, Nithya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update
