Anywhere in the world6,147 views
I served eight years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $5,400.
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 $5,400 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,400
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,650
• Transport to appointments: $350

Rooting for you, Eugene. Shared this with my family.
You're not alone, Eugene. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Caruaru.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. After 24 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Hang in there, Eugene. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
