A service dog for Autumn, a medical corps veteran in Dallas

I served four years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $1,800.
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 $1,800 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $360
• Essential household items: $240
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,200
If you're reading this, thank you.

- Restored my faith in humanity
I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
- Exceptional service
Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.
