Marilyn served fourteen years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. She has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a trained service dog and handler course. The quote comes to $2,800.
Marilyn is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Essential household items: $175
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,050
• Training provider fees: $1,575

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marilyn
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. essential household items comes first ($175) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Rooting for you, Beau. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
