Help Emeka get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
A navy veteran in Asaba needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with a back injury.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,516 views
Esther served four years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with a back injury. She has been waiting seven 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.
Esther 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: $350
• Housing deposit and first month: $270
• Transport to appointments: $50
• Essential household items: $30
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck, Emeka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings
Keep going, Emeka. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Asaba.

Thinking of you, Emeka. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Esther!
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Stellenbosch donated after I showed her your page
I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Dundee.
