Veteran in need: Daniel's next mission is stability
A medical corps veteran in Kasarani needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with hearing damage and PTSD.
🇰🇪 00130, Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya477 views
I served eight years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $600.
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 $600 goes:
• Essential household items: $85
• Housing deposit and first month: $170
• Training provider fees: $345
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Daniel
Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($117). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward training provider fees.
Quick update: $22 raised so far (4%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Small update. $22 so far, the plan for essential household items is now scheduled.
