Help Kehinde get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
Kehinde served four years in the air force; $750 would cover a vocational welding course and tools.

I served four years in the air force 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 vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $750.
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 $750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $330
• Housing deposit and first month: $300
• Transport to appointments: $35
• Essential household items: $85
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Kehinde
Good news. Because of your gifts ($479 in total) the plan for housing deposit and first month is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope it all works out, Kehinde. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Chennai.
Wishing you peace, Kehinde. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
