I served twelve years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $4,450. 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 $4,450 goes: • Training provider fees: $3,000 • Housing deposit and first month: $850 • Transport to appointments: $270 • Essential household items: $330 If you're reading this, thank you. - Eleanor

Updates from Eleanor

  1. We're at 34% thanks to 30 of you. the plan for training provider fees is now scheduled. More news soon.

  2. Small update. $1,407 so far, I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($587 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Praying for you, Eleanor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Glasgow.
