Veteran in need: Gauri's next mission is stability
After fourteen years of service, Gauri is raising funds for a first month of rent and transport to job interviews.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India852 views
I served fourteen years in the army and was discharged in 2025 with a back injury. I have been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $550.
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 $550 goes:
• Training provider fees: $270
• Housing deposit and first month: $155
• Transport to appointments: $30
• Essential household items: $95
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Gauri
Good news. Because of your gifts ($217 in total) the plan for transport to appointments is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Thinking of you and your family, Gauri. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Mumbai.
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Glasgow.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Mumbai
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Wishing you the best, Gauri. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
