🇳🇬 Nigeria619 views
Festus served ten years in the air force and was discharged in 2023 with a back injury. He has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $550.
Festus is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $550 goes:
• Training provider fees: $240
• Housing deposit and first month: $165
• Transport to appointments: $30
• Essential household items: $115
With deep gratitude,
Usman

Thinking of you and your family, Usman. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 35 people at work
You're not alone. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Epe
best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 14 people at work. Love from Multan.
