Help Awino get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
After eight years of service, Awino is raising funds for a trained service dog and handler course.

I served eight years in the army and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee 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 $900.
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 $900 goes:
• Training provider fees: $400
• Essential household items: $70
• Housing deposit and first month: $430
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you peace, Awino. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Dhaka.
Wishing you peace, Awino. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Bellevue so I could bring a meal. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Nakuru.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. Love from Liverpool
