A service dog for Gilles, an infantry veteran in Poitiers
Gilles served fourteen years in the infantry; $3,000 would cover a first month of rent and transport to job interviews.
🇫🇷 Poitiers, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France805 views
I served fourteen years in the infantry and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $3,000.
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 $3,000 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,300
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,400
• Transport to appointments: $300
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace, Gilles. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Thinking of you, Gilles. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Mapo this morning. Love from Mapo.
Sending strength, Gilles. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
best of luck, Gilles. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Zapopan donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
