Riverside
I served ten years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a back injury. 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 $5,750. 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. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $5,750 goes: • Housing deposit and first month: $1,200 • Training provider fees: $3,900 • Essential household items: $650 Thank you so much.

    Good luck, Salvador. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

    • Brielle K. Richards

      Sending strength, Salvador. Hope this works out for you. All the best

        Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Riverside.

        • Justine Valérie Benoit

              Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Sukkur
