Deepak served ten years in the navy and was discharged in 2025 with hearing damage and PTSD. He has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a trained service dog and handler course. The quote comes to $4,600.
Deepak is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $4,600 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,800
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,900
• Transport to appointments: $410
• Essential household items: $490
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

how is Deepak doing now?
Good luck, Alka. Your post was clear and honest. After 23 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Shared this with my family. Sent it to 25 people at work. Thinking of Leeds

Sending good thoughts, Alka. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Leeds.
Best of luck, Alka. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Jakarta Selatan donated after I showed her your page.
Hope it all works out, Alka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 17 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope it all works out, Alka. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Love from Aurora.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
