I served six years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting eleven 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 $4,300.
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 $4,300 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,800
• Housing deposit and first month: $710
• Transport to appointments: $250
• Essential household items: $540
If you're reading this, thank you.
