Chioma served ten years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. She has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $950. Chioma is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $950 goes: • Training provider fees: $490 • Housing deposit and first month: $290 • Transport to appointments: $75 • Essential household items: $95 If you're reading this, thank you. - Nonso

                      Sending good thoughts, Nonso. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

                          Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Gazipur donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

                          • rooting for you, Nonso. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
