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

I served six years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with a service-related knee 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 $3,450.
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 $3,450 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,500
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,400
• Transport to appointments: $290
• Essential household items: $260
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Kaduna
Hope it all works out, Emma. Looking forward to the next update.
Stay strong, Emma. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Chandler but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Leeds
Your post was clear and honest. Love from Epe.
