I served six years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. 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 $5,150.
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 $5,150 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,500
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,750
• Transport to appointments: $460
• Essential household items: $440
I hope life is good to you.

what exactly is the $5,150 for?
Training provider fees is $2,500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
