I served eight years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting eleven 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 $4,050.
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 $4,050 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,850
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,300
• Transport to appointments: $430
• Essential household items: $470
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hang in there. Hope you get there. Love from Södertälje.
Thinking of you, Frank. Shared this with my family. After 6 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best!
Hope it all works out, Frank. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Hannover.
Hang in there, Frank. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Saket.
Hope things get better soon, Frank. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Wellington so I could bring a meal
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Santos.
