Eleanor served eight years; now needs help to get home
An army veteran in Los Angeles needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with a service-related knee injury.

I served eight years in the army and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. 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 $2,250.
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 $2,250 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,450
• Transport to appointments: $440
• Essential household items: $360
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
