I served fourteen years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a back 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 $3,600.
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 $3,600 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,900
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,100
• Transport to appointments: $380
• Essential household items: $220
Thanks for being kind about this.

best of luck, Anjali. Shared this with my family.
Take care. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Houston donated after I showed her your page.
stay strong. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Anjali.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. training provider fees comes first ($1,900) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
stay strong, Anjali. Hope this works out for you
Keep going, Anjali. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 4 people at work. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Anjali. This could happen to any of us. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Keep going, Anjali. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of San Francisco
it takes guts to ask. Well done. After 22 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
