I served eight years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $300.
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 $300 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $60
• Essential household items: $90
• Housing deposit and first month: $150
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you, Wunmi. Shared this with my family. After 16 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
