Chukwuemeka served fourteen years; now needs help to get home
A navy veteran in Onitsha needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with a traumatic brain injury.
🇳🇬 Onitsha, Anambra, Nigeria1,020 views
I served fourteen years in the navy and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting eleven 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 $550.
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 $550 goes:
• Training provider fees: $370
• Housing deposit and first month: $125
• Essential household items: $55
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($20 in total) the plan for essential household items is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
