An air force veteran in Aurora needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with a back injury.
🇺🇸 Aurora, Illinois, United States112 views
I served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. 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 $3,650.
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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,700
• Training provider fees: $1,600
• Essential household items: $350
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
