Jonathan served fourteen years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with hearing damage and PTSD. He 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 $3,700.
Jonathan 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 $3,700 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $590
• Essential household items: $450
• Training provider fees: $2,660
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Violet
Update from Ottawa: I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 1% funded and the plan for training provider fees is now scheduled. - Violet
Small update. $20 so far, I made the first payment toward essential household items.
