Help Viral get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
Viral served fourteen years in the air force; $650 would cover a trained service dog and handler course.

I served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $650.
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 $650 goes:
• Training provider fees: $290
• Housing deposit and first month: $210
• Transport to appointments: $35
• Essential household items: $115
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

keep going, Viral. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Madina
Shared this with my family. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
