A service dog for Vivian, a medical corps veteran in Lagos
A medical corps veteran in Lagos needs help with a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment after leaving service with a back injury.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria395 views
I served eight years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $500.
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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $500 goes:
• Training provider fees: $220
• Housing deposit and first month: $200
• Transport to appointments: $55
• Essential household items: $25
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Vivian
Quick update: $141 raised so far (28%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 22% funded and I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($86 in total) the plan for essential household items is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Rooting for you, Vivian. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
You're not alone, Vivian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Rohini.
Keep going, Vivian. Your post was clear and honest
good luck. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Lagos
Wishing you peace, Vivian. Shared it with a few friends.
