I served twelve years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. 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 $800.
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 $800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $330
• Housing deposit and first month: $330
• Transport to appointments: $80
• Essential household items: $60
Every share and every dollar helps.

Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Amsterdam.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jagadish.
Training provider fees is $330 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
