Help Allison get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
A marines veteran in Montréal needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with chronic tinnitus.

I served twelve years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $4,250.
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 $4,250 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,450
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,800
• Transport to appointments: $550
• Essential household items: $450
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
