A service dog for Mwangi, an army veteran in Nairobi
An army veteran in Nairobi needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with chronic tinnitus.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya803 views
I served six years in the army and was discharged in 2024 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $750.
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 $750 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $35
• Training provider fees: $630
• Essential household items: $85
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Warangal so I could bring a meal.
