Dominique served fourteen years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. She has been waiting fourteen 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 $4,800.
Dominique 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 $4,800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,650
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,600
• Transport to appointments: $230
• Essential household items: $320
Thanks for being kind about this.
