I served twelve years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $1,000. 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 $1,000 goes: • Training provider fees: $520 • Housing deposit and first month: $330 • Transport to appointments: $85 • Essential household items: $65 Thank you so much. - Pranjal

Updates from Pranjal

  1. Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($79). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Update from Tiruchirappalli: I made the first payment toward transport to appointments. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
