Olumide served fourteen years; now needs help to get home
A medical corps veteran in Epe needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with a traumatic brain injury.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria1,637 views
I served fourteen years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $500.
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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $500 goes:
• Essential household items: $75
• Housing deposit and first month: $290
• Training provider fees: $135
Thanks for being kind about this.
