I served fourteen years in the army and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $4,150.
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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $4,150 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,100
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,100
• Transport to appointments: $490
• Essential household items: $460
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Winston-Salem!
