A service dog for Aubree, an air force veteran in Bakersfield

After fourteen years of service, Aubree is raising funds for a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.

I served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2022 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 deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $3,900. 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 $3,900 goes: • Training provider fees: $1,400 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,600 • Transport to appointments: $220 • Essential household items: $680 Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Aubree

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,129 in total) I made the first payment toward transport to appointments. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Bakersfield: I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. We're at 30% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

                  keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Anaheim so I could bring a meal.
