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

I served eight years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting seven 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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $700 goes:
• Training provider fees: $440
• Housing deposit and first month: $210
• Transport to appointments: $50
If you're reading this, thank you.

Thinking of you and your family, Festus. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
you're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Wishing you peace, Festus. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
