I served eight years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2023 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 first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $500.
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 $500 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $50
• Housing deposit and first month: $150
• Training provider fees: $300
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thanks for sharing this, Rotimi. It takes guts to ask. Well done
stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Bilbao
I hope things turn around soon. After 11 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Take care, Rotimi. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Seoul but we're thinking of you. All the best
