I served ten years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting seven 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 $4,100.
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 $4,100 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,300
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,200
• Transport to appointments: $190
• Essential household items: $410
If you're reading this, thank you.

thinking of you, Vanessa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
wishing you the best, Vanessa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from San Diego.
