Uchenna served ten years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with a service-related knee injury. He has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $550. Uchenna 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 $550 goes: โ€ข Essential household items: $65 โ€ข Housing deposit and first month: $270 โ€ข Training provider fees: $215 If you're reading this, thank you.
