Patrick served four years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. He has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a trained service dog and handler course. The quote comes to $5,800. Patrick is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $5,800 goes: • Essential household items: $660 • Housing deposit and first month: $2,550 • Training provider fees: $2,590 Thanks for reading all this. - Anaïs

Updates from Anaïs

  1. Thank you all. We're at 51% now ($2,974). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts.
