Gerald served six years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with a back injury. He has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a trained service dog and handler course. The quote comes to $4,550. Gerald is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $4,550 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,100 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,550 • Transport to appointments: $360 • Essential household items: $540 Every share and every dollar helps. - Lydia

    Hope it all works out, Lydia. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Tokyo
