I served eight years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $2,200. 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 $2,200 goes: • Transport to appointments: $420 • Training provider fees: $1,200 • Essential household items: $580 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  1. We're at 19% thanks to 10 of you. I made the first payment toward transport to appointments. More news soon.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 45% now ($999). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts.

  3. We're at 36% thanks to 19 of you. I made the first payment toward essential household items. More news soon.
