A service dog for Sophie, an infantry veteran in Sacramento
An infantry veteran in Sacramento needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with a service-related knee injury.

I served six years in the infantry and was discharged in 2025 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 first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $1,750.
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 $1,750 goes:
• Essential household items: $510
• Housing deposit and first month: $830
• Transport to appointments: $410
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Sophie
Good news. Because of your gifts ($357 in total) I made the first payment toward essential household items. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
