I served twelve years in the navy and was discharged in 2024 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $650 goes:
• Training provider fees: $260
• Housing deposit and first month: $260
• Transport to appointments: $55
• Essential household items: $75
With deep gratitude,
Obinna

Hope things get better soon, Obinna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Obinna. This could happen to any of us. God bless
is there anything that isn't money that would help Obinna?
Stay strong, Obinna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Lagos.
You're not alone, Obinna. Looking forward to the next update.
