I served six years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 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 $450.
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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $450 goes:
• Training provider fees: $180
• Housing deposit and first month: $240
• Transport to appointments: $30
If you're reading this, thank you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Blessing!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. training provider fees comes first ($180) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Praying for you, Blessing. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Epe
thanks for sharing this, Blessing. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
