I served eight years in the marines and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $800.
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 $800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $460
• Housing deposit and first month: $260
• Transport to appointments: $55
• Essential household items: $25
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Shubra so I could bring a meal
Sending strength, Kiara. Shared it with a few friends.
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
