Veteran in need: Indira's next mission is stability
A navy veteran in Nashik needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with hearing damage and PTSD.
Anywhere in the world2,246 views
I served twelve years in the navy and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $800.
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 $800 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $220
• Training provider fees: $480
• Transport to appointments: $100
With deep gratitude,
Indira
