I served six years in the navy and was discharged in 2025 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 first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $800.
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 $800 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $70
• Housing deposit and first month: $230
• Training provider fees: $500
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good luck, Folake. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Nnewi
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Nnewi!
Thank you. If you're in Nnewi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you peace, Folake. Gave what I could, wish it was more!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Liverpool
