Veteran in need: Uchenna's next mission is stability
After twelve years of service, Uchenna is raising funds for a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.
🇳🇬 Abuja, Abuja FCT, Nigeria1,648 views
I served twelve years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $700.
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 $700 goes:
• Training provider fees: $390
• Housing deposit and first month: $190
• Transport to appointments: $80
• Essential household items: $40
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Uchenna?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about training provider fees, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
Best of luck, Uchenna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Uchenna.
It's all in the list in the story. training provider fees is the big one at $390, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Manila so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Monterrey
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Abuja
Hope things get better soon, Uchenna. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
