I served twelve years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting seven 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 $4,550. 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 $4,550 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,200 • Essential household items: $300 • Housing deposit and first month: $2,050 Thank you so much. - Anna

Updates from Anna

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($429 in total) the plan for essential household items is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Small update. $169 so far, the plan for training provider fees is now scheduled.

  3. Update from Riverside: we've started the first stage. We're at 3% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Take care, Anna. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up.

      Hope things get better soon, Anna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care

        wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings!

          Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

            Hope things get better soon, Anna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
