Evelyn served twelve years; now needs help to get home
After twelve years of service, Evelyn is raising funds for a trained service dog and handler course.
🇬🇧 Manchester, England, United Kingdom869 views
I served twelve years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $3,550.
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 $3,550 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $330
• Essential household items: $540
• Training provider fees: $2,680
Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing this, Evelyn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Wishing you peace, Evelyn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Evelyn.
Transport to appointments is $330 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
wishing you peace, Evelyn. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Take care, Evelyn. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Evelyn. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Thane so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Manchester.
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Duque de Caxias
sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
