Owen served ten years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. He has been waiting eleven 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 $4,800.
Owen 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 $4,800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,450
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,600
• Transport to appointments: $500
• Essential household items: $250
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Keep going, Caroline. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Mekelle so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Owen
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. training provider fees comes first ($2,450) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Hope things get better soon, Caroline. Hope this works out for you. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. Blessings

Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Shared this with my family. After 10 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Jodhpur.
