I served ten years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a trained service dog and handler course. The quote I have comes to $350.
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 $350 goes:
• Essential household items: $70
• Housing deposit and first month: $230
• Transport to appointments: $50
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jide!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. essential household items comes first ($70) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Rooting for you, Jide. Looking forward to the next update.
Sending strength, Jide. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Gwagwalada
take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Gwagwalada.
