Mwende served fourteen years in the medical corps 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 deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $600.
Mwende is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $600 goes:
• Training provider fees: $270
• Essential household items: $100
• Housing deposit and first month: $230
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Thane.
Sending strength, Rose. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Birmingham.
You're not alone, Rose. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Good luck. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Gujranwala.
