Anyango served six years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. She has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $850.
Anyango is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $850 goes:
• Training provider fees: $330
• Housing deposit and first month: $330
• Transport to appointments: $90
• Essential household items: $100
With deep gratitude,
Ochieng

Thanks for sharing this, Ochieng. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Kasarani.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Kota so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there, Ochieng. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Mwanza.
