I served six years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $650. 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 $650 goes: • Training provider fees: $240 • Housing deposit and first month: $300 • Transport to appointments: $35 • Essential household items: $75 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Kehinde

Updates from Kehinde

  1. Small update. $400 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($255 in total) I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. We're at 32% thanks to 5 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.
