Veteran in need: Grace's next mission is stability
An infantry veteran in Badagry needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with post-traumatic stress.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria1,454 views
I served twelve years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $750.
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 $750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $390
• Housing deposit and first month: $270
• Transport to appointments: $30
• Essential household items: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you, Grace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
best of luck, Grace. Hope you get there.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Joliet
