Help Autumn get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
An army veteran in Warren needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with hearing damage and PTSD.

I served eight years in the army and was discharged in 2025 with hearing damage and PTSD. 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 $3,800.
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 $3,800 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $330
• Training provider fees: $1,800
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,670
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
