Help Funmilayo get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
Funmilayo served six years in the infantry; $650 would cover a trained service dog and handler course.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria787 views
I served six years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a trained service dog and handler course. The quote I have comes to $650.
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 $650 goes:
• Training provider fees: $200
• Housing deposit and first month: $300
• Transport to appointments: $80
• Essential household items: $70
