A service dog for Isaac, a medical corps veteran in Tallahassee
A medical corps veteran in Tallahassee needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with chronic tinnitus.
🇺🇸 Tallahassee, Florida, United States244 views
Ellie served six years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with chronic tinnitus. She has been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $6,100.
Ellie is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $6,100 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,200
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,350
• Transport to appointments: $210
• Essential household items: $340
If you're reading this, thank you.

Thank you all. We're at 2% now ($135). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward housing deposit and first month.

Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Tallahassee.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Latina but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Latina.
