I served fourteen years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting eleven 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 $3,800.
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 $3,800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,200
• Transport to appointments: $290
• Essential household items: $310
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong, Rashmi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Jacksonville
Sending good thoughts, Rashmi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.

thinking of you and your family, Rashmi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Shreveport.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Alexandria
