Kemi served four years; now needs help to get home
Kemi served four years in the engineering corps; $700 would cover a trained service dog and handler course.

I served four years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting nine 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 $700.
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 $700 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $200
• Transport to appointments: $30
• Training provider fees: $470
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong, Kemi. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. All the best
Any update on how things are going in Benin City?
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Benin City
Rooting for you, Kemi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
Sending strength, Kemi. Your post was clear and honest. God bless
Hope you get there. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Benin City.
