🇦🇺 Townsville, Queensland, Australia1,380 views
I served twelve years in the air force and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $4,550.
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 $4,550 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,700
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,100
• Essential household items: $750
Every share and every dollar helps.

Keep going. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Aurangabad so I could bring a meal. Blessings
