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.

Take care, Anaïs. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Toronto
