🇩🇪 Berlin, Berlin, Germany2,124 views
I served twelve years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $4,300.
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 $4,300 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,000
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,450
• Transport to appointments: $390
• Essential household items: $460
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Lukas
Thank you all. We're at 16% now ($678). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward essential household items.
Update from Berlin: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 13% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
