I served four years in the army and was discharged in 2023 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 $650.
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 $650 goes:
• Training provider fees: $380
• Housing deposit and first month: $165
• Transport to appointments: $65
• Essential household items: $40
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Karan
Quick update: $116 raised so far (18%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 10% funded and I made the first payment toward transport to appointments.

how is Karan doing now?
Thinking of you and your family, Karan. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Nagpur donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Nagpur
Rooting for you, Karan. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
