I served eight years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2022 with a back injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $2,950.
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 $2,950 goes:
• Essential household items: $380
• Transport to appointments: $410
• Training provider fees: $2,160
If you're reading this, thank you.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of El Paso.
Keep going, Eliana. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 3 people at work.
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Shubra
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted

Stay strong, Eliana. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
