I served six years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. 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 $800.
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 $800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $410
• Housing deposit and first month: $320
• Transport to appointments: $30
• Essential household items: $40
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Take care, Zainab. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Lagos
Hang in there, Zainab. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Sandton
