I served ten years in the army and was discharged in 2023 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 vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $700. 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 $700 goes: • Housing deposit and first month: $260 • Essential household items: $95 • Training provider fees: $345 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Femi

      hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.

        So sorry you're going through this, Femi. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Kingston.
