A service dog for Sharon, an army veteran in London
An army veteran in London needs help with a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment after leaving service with chronic tinnitus.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom2,565 views
I served four years in the army and was discharged in 2024 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $3,250.
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 $3,250 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,200
• Transport to appointments: $430
• Essential household items: $620
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of London.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sharon
It's all in the list in the story. training provider fees is the big one at $2,200, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. All the best
wishing you the best, Sharon. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Haifa so I could bring a meal.
I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of London
Thanks for sharing this, Sharon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
