Murugan served six years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $400.
Murugan is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $400 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $310
• Transport to appointments: $35
• Essential household items: $55
Glad we found this place.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Murugan?
Thank you. If you're in Surat I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 5 people at work. Take care.
Stay strong, Shruthi. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
