Veteran in need: Pooja's next mission is stability

After eight years of service, Pooja is raising funds for a first month of rent and transport to job interviews.

I served eight years in the infantry and was discharged in 2022 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $4,300. 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 $4,300 goes: • Housing deposit and first month: $2,450 • Transport to appointments: $540 • Training provider fees: $1,310 With deep gratitude, Pooja

        Wishing you peace, Pooja. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from București.
