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 $3,250.
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 $3,250 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,000
• Transport to appointments: $440
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,810
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts, Mame. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Keep going, Mame. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
keep going. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Good luck, Mame. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Ho but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Abbottabad so I could bring a meal. Love from Tamale.
Praying for you, Mame. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Ekurhuleni.
Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Albany this morning
