Donna served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with a back injury. She has been waiting nine 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 $1,500. Donna is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $1,500 goes: • Transport to appointments: $240 • Housing deposit and first month: $980 • Essential household items: $280 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - John

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

    Patient and understanding

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    Changed my perspective

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
