Mariana served six years in the navy and was discharged in 2025 with hearing damage and PTSD. She has been waiting eleven 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 $3,350. Mariana is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden. Where the $3,350 goes: • Housing deposit and first month: $2,350 • Essential household items: $550 • Transport to appointments: $450 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Ramón
