Veteran in need: Michael's next mission is stability
An army veteran in Lagos needs help with a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment after leaving service with hearing damage and PTSD.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria1,049 views
Queen served six years in the army and was discharged in 2021 with hearing damage and PTSD. She has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $250.
Queen is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $250 goes:
• Essential household items: $40
• Transport to appointments: $60
• Housing deposit and first month: $150
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

- Genuine person with a big heart
I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
- Very responsive and caring
Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.
