Saket
I served twelve years in the infantry and was discharged in 2021 with hearing damage and PTSD. 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 $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. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $500 goes: • Essential household items: $65 • Housing deposit and first month: $210 • Training provider fees: $225 Thanks for reading all this. - Aarti

    Praying for you, Aarti. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
