I served eight years in the infantry and was discharged in 2022 with a traumatic brain 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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $300
• Essential household items: $270
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,680
With deep gratitude,
Hamza

Good news. Because of your gifts ($827 in total) I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

you're not alone, Hamza. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Malmö
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of London.
Thinking of you, Hamza. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Chennai but we're thinking of you. Love from Chennai.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of London.
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
