Venkatesh served six years in the marines and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. He has been waiting seven 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 $800. Venkatesh 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 $800 goes: โ€ข Training provider fees: $370 โ€ข Housing deposit and first month: $260 โ€ข Transport to appointments: $70 โ€ข Essential household items: $100 If you're reading this, thank you. - Sneha

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Venkatesh

    • Sneha KurupOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. training provider fees comes first ($370) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.

  • This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Port Harcourt donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

    • Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.

      • Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Thane.
