Githinji served eight years in the infantry and was discharged in 2024 with a service-related knee 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 $850.
Githinji 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 $850 goes:
• Training provider fees: $520
• Housing deposit and first month: $180
• Transport to appointments: $80
• Essential household items: $70
Glad we found this place.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Lalitpur.
sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. Love from Bangkok
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
