Help Lucy get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
Lucy served six years in the army; $4,450 would cover a trained service dog and handler course.

I served six years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $4,450.
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 $4,450 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,450
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,750
• Essential household items: $250
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Lucy
Thank you all. We're at 48% now ($2,133). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward essential household items.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Lagos.
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
hope it all works out, Lucy. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Newport.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Love from Minneapolis.
I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning.
