Mackenzie served eight years in the medical corps; $3,650 would cover a trained service dog and handler course.

I served eight years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting fourteen 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: $1,500
• Essential household items: $450
• Training provider fees: $1,700
Every share and every dollar helps.

sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Petrópolis so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Southampton
Wishing you peace, Mackenzie. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Mackenzie. Looking forward to the next update
Hope it all works out, Mackenzie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Take care
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Wollongong but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Good luck, Mackenzie. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Surakarta
