Ogbomosho
Funmilayo served six years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain 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 $650. Funmilayo 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 $650 goes: • Transport to appointments: $65 • Housing deposit and first month: $310 • Training provider fees: $275 With deep gratitude, Zubby

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Funmilayo?

          keep going, Zubby. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
