I served ten years in the navy and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee 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 $550. 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 $550 goes: • Training provider fees: $290 • Housing deposit and first month: $180 • Transport to appointments: $45 • Essential household items: $35 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Modupe

  1. Small update. $113 so far, the plan for essential household items is now scheduled.

  2. Update from Onitsha: we've started the first stage. We're at 6% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
