A service dog for Abosede, an engineering corps veteran in Lagos
Abosede served twelve years in the engineering corps; $600 would cover a trained service dog and handler course.

I served twelve years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a trained service dog and handler course. The quote I have comes to $600.
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 $600 goes:
• Training provider fees: $280
• Housing deposit and first month: $250
• Transport to appointments: $70
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
