Help Olumide get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
Olumide served ten years in the medical corps; $800 would cover a vocational welding course and tools.

I served ten years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting eleven 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 $800.
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 $800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $410
• Housing deposit and first month: $260
• Transport to appointments: $85
• Essential household items: $45
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best, Olumide. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
how is Olumide doing now?
Stay strong, Olumide. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
good luck, Olumide. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending love, Olumide. Hope this works out for you.
thanks for sharing this, Olumide. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Dehiwala.
Thinking of you and your family, Olumide. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
