Help Tejaswini get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
A marines veteran in Tiruchirappalli needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with hearing damage and PTSD.
🇮🇳 Tamil Nadu, India504 views
I served eight years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. 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 $500.
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 $500 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $55
• Training provider fees: $210
• Housing deposit and first month: $235
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

thinking of you, Tejaswini. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Barranquilla.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tejaswini
Transport to appointments is $55 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Rooting for you, Tejaswini. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from San Jose.
Best of luck, Tejaswini. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Surabaya
