Chebet served eight years; now needs help to get home
After eight years of service, Chebet is raising funds for a vocational welding course and tools.

I served eight years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $750.
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 $750 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $100
• Essential household items: $100
• Training provider fees: $550
Glad we found this place.

Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted
Take care, Chebet. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from San Diego.
stay strong, Chebet. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Faisalabad
this could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
