Lagos

I served eight years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place. I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $950. 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 $950 goes: • Training provider fees: $510 • Essential household items: $75 • Housing deposit and first month: $365 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Yewande

Updates from Yewande

Good news. Because of your gifts ($250 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $46 raised so far (5%). I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($100). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. - Yewande
