I served ten years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $4,450. 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 $4,450 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,300 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,250 • Transport to appointments: $560 • Essential household items: $340 With deep gratitude, Alexa

        Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
