I served fourteen years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $2,700. 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 $2,700 goes: • Transport to appointments: $470 • Essential household items: $630 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,600 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Wendy

                Thinking of you, Wendy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
