Kemi served ten years in the navy and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. She has been waiting nine 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 $750.
Kemi 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 $750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $400
• Housing deposit and first month: $200
• Transport to appointments: $45
• Essential household items: $105
With deep gratitude,
Bello

Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Badagry
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Nuremberg.
Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Rohini.
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. All the best.
how is Kemi doing now?
Take care, Bello. Hope this works out for you. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kemi.
Thinking of you, Bello. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Kemi?
Thank you. If you're in Badagry I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Sending love, Bello. I hope things turn around soon!

Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Bergamo.
Wishing you the best, Bello. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
