Veteran in need: Kayode's next mission is stability
An air force veteran in Lagos needs help with a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment after leaving service with chronic tinnitus.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,047 views
I served eight years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $800.
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 $800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $360
• Housing deposit and first month: $320
• Transport to appointments: $85
• Essential household items: $35
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Kayode. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Lagos.
I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Wudil this morning. All the best
