Veteran in need: Imani's next mission is stability
An air force veteran in Nairobi needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with a service-related knee injury.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya601 views
I served six years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting eleven 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 $550.
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 $550 goes:
• Training provider fees: $390
• Essential household items: $100
• Transport to appointments: $60
With deep gratitude,
Imani

Hope things get better soon, Imani. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Imani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Columbus so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Nairobi!
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Nairobi.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about training provider fees, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
