Help Harold get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
Harold served fourteen years in the air force; $4,100 would cover a trained service dog and handler course.

I served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. 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 $4,100.
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 $4,100 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,300
• Housing deposit and first month: $950
• Transport to appointments: $460
• Essential household items: $390
Thanks for being kind about this.
