I served eight years in the navy and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $5,650.
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 $5,650 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,050
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,600
• Transport to appointments: $440
• Essential household items: $560
With deep gratitude,
Audrey
Updates from Audrey
Update from Jacksonville: I made the first payment toward housing deposit and first month. We're at 41% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
30% there. I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Kadıköy.
Keep going, Audrey. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Birmingham.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Jacksonville
shared it with a few friends. After 10 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
