I served ten years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2025 with a back injury. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $750.
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 $750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $400
• Housing deposit and first month: $260
• Transport to appointments: $40
• Essential household items: $50
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
Updates from Nonso
Thank you all. We're at 57% now ($429). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward transport to appointments.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 7% funded and the plan for housing deposit and first month is now scheduled. - Nonso

shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Rome so I could bring a meal. Love from Mthatha
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nonso.
It's all in the list in the story. training provider fees is the big one at $400, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Praying for you, Nonso. Looking forward to the next update. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
