A service dog for Halima, a marines veteran in Bonny
A marines veteran in Bonny needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with a traumatic brain injury.
🇳🇬 Bonny, Rivers, Nigeria789 views
Chinedu served fourteen years in the marines and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. 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.
Chinedu 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 $400 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $80
• Housing deposit and first month: $280
• Essential household items: $40
Glad we found this place.
