Anand served four years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. He has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $300.
Anand is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $300 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $70
• Housing deposit and first month: $155
• Essential household items: $75
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Manchester this morning.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Newport.
Keep going, Ritu. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Piraeus but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Mumbai.
