Ritu served eight years; now needs help to get home
Ritu served eight years in the infantry; $700 would cover a vocational welding course and tools.

I served eight years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $700.
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 $700 goes:
• Training provider fees: $540
• Essential household items: $110
• Transport to appointments: $50
Thanks for being kind about this.

stay strong, Ritu. Hope you get there. All the best.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Jakarta Barat
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Bengaluru.
