Amaka served six years in the infantry and was discharged in 2022 with a traumatic brain injury. She has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $550.
Amaka is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $550 goes:
• Training provider fees: $190
• Housing deposit and first month: $155
• Transport to appointments: $90
• Essential household items: $115

how is Amaka doing now?
You're not alone, Michael. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Zaporizhzhia!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Amaka?
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Coventry!
Take care, Michael. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Riyadh so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Ikeja.
Praying for you, Michael. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Polokwane but we're thinking of you. Blessings
