Help Bakari get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
After twelve years of service, Bakari is raising funds for a vocational welding course and tools.

Irene served twelve years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a back injury. She has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $450.
Irene is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $450 goes:
• Essential household items: $40
• Transport to appointments: $70
• Training provider fees: $340
Every share and every dollar helps.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Duque de Caxias.
thinking of you and your family, Bakari. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Jaipur so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Keep going, Bakari. Hope you get there.
Take care, Bakari. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Guarulhos.
