I served eight years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2025 with hearing damage and PTSD. 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 $5,700.
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 $5,700 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,650
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,150
• Transport to appointments: $360
• Essential household items: $540
Thanks for reading all this.

good luck, Lucas. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Rockford.
Your post was clear and honest. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Praying for you, Lucas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of London
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of London.
wishing you peace, Lucas. Your post was clear and honest.
Hang in there, Lucas. Gave what I could, wish it was more
