Help Luna get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
A marines veteran in Newcastle needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with a back injury.
Anywhere in the world4,266 views
I served twelve years in the marines and was discharged in 2025 with a back 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 $3,900.
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 $3,900 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,850
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,500
• Transport to appointments: $185
• Essential household items: $365
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

hope this works out for you. Love from San Jose.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Luna!
Sure. The biggest one is training provider fees, $1,850. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 7 people at work. Love from Saint-Denis
hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
How is Luna doing now?
Best of luck, Luna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Bekasi so I could bring a meal!
Stay strong, Luna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Mumbai.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Manchester donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Manchester
Shared this with my family. Greetings from Leicester
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
