Veteran in need: Oluwaseun's next mission is stability
A marines veteran in Badagry needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with post-traumatic stress.
🇳🇬 Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria214 views
I served ten years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 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 $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 $250 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $60
• Essential household items: $30
• Housing deposit and first month: $160
Glad we found this place.

sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Thinking of Badagry.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Oluwaseun.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. transport to appointments is the biggest at $60. Let me know if you want more detail.
wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal.
thanks for sharing this, Oluwaseun. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update!
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
