I served fourteen years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. 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 $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: $230
• Housing deposit and first month: $290
• Transport to appointments: $60
• Essential household items: $70
With deep gratitude,
Prachi
Updates from Prachi
Quick update: $49 raised so far (8%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($49 in total) I made the first payment toward housing deposit and first month. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($25). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward transport to appointments.

Hang in there, Prachi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Prachi.
Sending love, Prachi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
