An army veteran in Awka needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with a traumatic brain injury.

Yinka served fourteen years in the army and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. He has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $300.
Yinka is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $300 goes:
• Essential household items: $30
• Transport to appointments: $50
• Housing deposit and first month: $220
Thanks for being kind about this.
- Mercy

So sorry you're going through this, Mercy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Lille but we're thinking of you. All the best
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Abbottabad
Thanks for sharing this, Mercy. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care!
Keep going, Mercy. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Stellenbosch this morning. Love from Stellenbosch
