Vishal served fourteen years; now needs help to get home
An army veteran in Vadodara needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with a traumatic brain injury.

Pooja served fourteen years in the army and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. She has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $450.
Pooja 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 $450 goes:
• Essential household items: $60
• Transport to appointments: $55
• Training provider fees: $335
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($45). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward transport to appointments.
Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($40). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($15 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Good luck, Vishal. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Vadodara
Hope it all works out, Vishal. Hope this works out for you
hope it all works out, Vishal. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Bogotá this morning. Love from Bogotá
Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Vadodara.
Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Nha Trang
Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best!
