Help Elias get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
An army veteran in London needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with chronic tinnitus.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom3,593 views
I served six years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $4,350.
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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $4,350 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $560
• Training provider fees: $2,600
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,190
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
