Veteran in need: Njeri's next mission is stability
A marines veteran in Kisumu needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with post-traumatic stress.
π°πͺ Kisumu, Kenya1,223 views
I served twelve years in the marines and was discharged in 2021 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $500.
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 $500 goes:
β’ Essential household items: $100
β’ Housing deposit and first month: $310
β’ Transport to appointments: $90
Thank you so much.

Update from Kisumu: the plan for housing deposit and first month is now scheduled. We're at 45% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

So sorry you're going through this, Njeri. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Kisumu.
