Frank served twelve years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. He has been waiting nine 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 $3,550.
Frank is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,450
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,250
• Transport to appointments: $440
• Essential household items: $410
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength, Claire. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from London.
Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Bristol.
