Geeta served twelve years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. She has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $6,100. Geeta is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden. Where the $6,100 goes: • Training provider fees: $3,000 • Housing deposit and first month: $2,000 • Transport to appointments: $590 • Essential household items: $510 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Amit

                • Amit P. LuthraOwnerAnswer

                  Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. training provider fees comes first ($3,000) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
