🇳🇬 Nigeria2,574 views
Bola served twelve years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. She has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $650.
Bola 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 $650 goes:
• Training provider fees: $370
• Housing deposit and first month: $195
• Transport to appointments: $55
• Essential household items: $30
I hope life is good to you.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bola
Sure. The biggest one is training provider fees, $370. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.
Hang in there, Jide. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
thanks for sharing this, Jide. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Manchester
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Spanish Town so I could bring a meal. Blessings
I hope things turn around soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Paris.
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
Take care. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Noida this morning. Love from Noida
keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Gazipur but we're thinking of you. Take care.
