A service dog for Babatunde, a marines veteran in Bonny
After six years of service, Babatunde is raising funds for a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.
🇳🇬 Bonny, Rivers, Nigeria984 views
I served six years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with a back injury. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $500.
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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $500 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $165
• Transport to appointments: $45
• Training provider fees: $290
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Mumbai.
