I served six years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $2,350.
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 $2,350 goes:
• Essential household items: $460
• Transport to appointments: $480
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,410

Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Adama.
I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Thinking of you, Álvaro. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Love from Lagos
