Uche served four years; now needs help to get home
An air force veteran in Port Harcourt needs help with a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment after leaving service with a traumatic brain injury.
🇳🇬 500064, Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria1,589 views
I served four years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. 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:
• Housing deposit and first month: $125
• Training provider fees: $510
• Transport to appointments: $15
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
