Veteran in need: Anushka's next mission is stability
Anushka served fourteen years in the marines; $600 would cover a vocational welding course and tools.

I served fourteen years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain 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 $600.
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 $600 goes:
• Training provider fees: $300
• Housing deposit and first month: $220
• Transport to appointments: $30
• Essential household items: $50
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

How is Anushka doing now?
Best of luck, Anushka. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Cape Town!
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Mbale but we're thinking of you
