Help Mwangi get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
An army veteran in Kisumu needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with post-traumatic stress.
🇰🇪 Kenya1,627 views
I served six years in the army and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting seven 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 $850.
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 $850 goes:
• Training provider fees: $530
• Transport to appointments: $55
• Housing deposit and first month: $265
If you're reading this, thank you.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kisumu.
Thank you. If you're in Kisumu I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Shared this with my family. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Bahir Dar.
Hang in there, Mwangi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Kisumu.
Hope things get better soon, Mwangi. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Hope things get better soon, Mwangi. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Kisumu.
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Guarulhos
Take care, Mwangi. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Kisumu
