Karanja served four years in the army and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. He has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a trained service dog and handler course. The quote comes to $850.
Karanja is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $850 goes:
• Training provider fees: $510
• Housing deposit and first month: $240
• Essential household items: $100
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Vancouver.
rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings!
good luck, Akinyi. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Entebbe donated after I showed her your page.
Good luck, Akinyi. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Alcalá de Henares but we're thinking of you. Love from Alcalá de Henares.
