Chinedu served four years in the army and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. He 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 $700. Chinedu 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 $700 goes: • Training provider fees: $380 • Housing deposit and first month: $180 • Transport to appointments: $40 • Essential household items: $100 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      how is Chinedu doing now?

      • Wishing you the best, Comfort. Hope you get there.

        • Sending good thoughts, Comfort. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 20 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Warsaw.
