I served six years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 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 trained service dog and handler course. The quote I have comes to $4,600. 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 $4,600 goes: • Training provider fees: $1,650 • Housing deposit and first month: $2,150 • Transport to appointments: $520 • Essential household items: $280 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Adrian

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($162 in total) the plan for transport to appointments is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 3% now ($117). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for housing deposit and first month is now scheduled.

  3. Update from London: the plan for transport to appointments is now scheduled. We're at 2% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Adrian
