A service dog for Arianna, an infantry veteran in Houston
After fourteen years of service, Arianna is raising funds for a vocational welding course and tools.
🇺🇸 Texas, United States1,838 views
I served fourteen years in the infantry and was discharged in 2022 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $5,150.
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 $5,150 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,100
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,000
• Transport to appointments: $410
• Essential household items: $640
If you're reading this, thank you.

thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

Thinking of you, Arianna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Sacramento this morning. God bless.
