A service dog for Nkechi, a marines veteran in Onitsha
Nkechi served eight years in the marines; $450 would cover a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.
🇳🇬 Onitsha, Anambra, Nigeria1,577 views
I served eight years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $450.
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 $450 goes:
• Training provider fees: $175
• Housing deposit and first month: $220
• Transport to appointments: $35
• Essential household items: $20
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Polokwane.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Don't give up. Greetings from Zagazig
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nkechi!
