Alice served ten years; now needs help to get home
After ten years of service, Alice is raising funds for a trained service dog and handler course.

I served ten years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee 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 $4,000.
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 $4,000 goes:
• Essential household items: $210
• Training provider fees: $2,000
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,790
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Alice
Good news. Because of your gifts ($559 in total) I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
