A medical corps veteran in Badagry needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with a traumatic brain injury.
🇳🇬 Nigeria991 views
Lilian served six years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 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 trained service dog and handler course. The quote comes to $750.
Lilian 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 $750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $370
• Housing deposit and first month: $280
• Transport to appointments: $75
• Essential household items: $25
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts, Okechukwu. This could happen to any of us. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless!
Rooting for you, Okechukwu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lilian.
It's all in the list in the story. training provider fees is the big one at $370, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.

Good luck, Okechukwu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.

best of luck, Okechukwu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
You're not alone, Okechukwu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Denpasar.
