Hauwa served fourteen years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. She has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $800. Hauwa 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 $800 goes: • Training provider fees: $390 • Housing deposit and first month: $270 • Transport to appointments: $35 • Essential household items: $105 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Hope things get better soon, Yinka. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hauwa.

        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. It helps to be asked.

      Praying for you, Yinka. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless

        Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. After 6 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
