I served four years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $3,400. 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 $3,400 goes: • Transport to appointments: $410 • Training provider fees: $1,350 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,640 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Henri

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,443 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Small update. $899 so far, I made the first payment toward transport to appointments.

  • your post was clear and honest. After 28 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything

    • Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Metz.

      • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Nairobi donated after I showed her your page.

        • Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
