Frankfurt
I served twelve years in the medical 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 $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: $1,500 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,700 • Transport to appointments: $180 • Essential household items: $220 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Anna

    Thinking of you, Anna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

    • Ngozi Sade Nwankwo

      Sending good thoughts, Anna. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.

      • Amanda Daniela Peixoto

        Thinking of you, Anna. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

        • Lily E. Hughes

          Keep going, Anna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up.

            Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Frankfurt

            • Anna BrandtOwnerAnswer

              Thank you. If you're in Frankfurt I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

          • Ishrat Mousumi Hossain

            gave what I could, wish it was more. After 13 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

            • Eugene B. Keller

              So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
