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

I served four years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 with a back injury. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $2,400.
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 $2,400 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $400
• Training provider fees: $1,550
• Essential household items: $450
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Levi.
Sure. The biggest one is transport to appointments, $400. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in San Diego but we're thinking of you. All the best
wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Enugu so I could bring a meal.
