I served ten years in the navy and was discharged in 2022 with a back 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 $400.
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 $400 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $40
• Housing deposit and first month: $310
• Essential household items: $50
Glad we found this place.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Pallavi?
Thank you. If you're in Mumbai I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
You're not alone, Pallavi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending love, Pallavi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Sending love, Pallavi. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
