I served twelve years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with hearing damage and PTSD. 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 $750.
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 $750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $430
• Housing deposit and first month: $175
• Transport to appointments: $65
• Essential household items: $80
Thanks for being kind about this.

Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Kolkata
good luck, Meenakshi. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Meenakshi. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Khon Kaen but we're thinking of you
Keep going, Meenakshi. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Meenakshi. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Kolkata.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kolkata.
