Uche served twelve years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee 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 $900.
Uche 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 $900 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $290
• Training provider fees: $550
• Transport to appointments: $60
If you're reading this, thank you.
Updates from Okechukwu
Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($70). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward housing deposit and first month.
Quick update: $60 raised so far (7%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Small update. $15 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. - Okechukwu

Sending strength, Okechukwu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Rooting for you, Okechukwu. This could happen to any of us. Blessings!
