I served fourteen years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting seven 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 $500. 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 $500 goes: • Housing deposit and first month: $340 • Transport to appointments: $75 • Essential household items: $85 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Sanjay

  1. Quick update: $101 raised so far (20%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Quick update: $91 raised so far (18%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  • is there anything that isn't money that would help Sanjay?

    • Thank you. If you're in Nagpur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Wishing you the best, Sanjay. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Fresno

    • Wishing you the best, Sanjay. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
