Veteran in need: Prasad's next mission is stability
An air force veteran in Mumbai needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with post-traumatic stress.

I served eight years in the air force and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting eleven 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 $450.
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 $450 goes:
• Essential household items: $95
• Transport to appointments: $75
• Housing deposit and first month: $280
Every share and every dollar helps.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($149 in total) I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Prasad?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about essential household items, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Fresno
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Mumbai.
