I served four years in the infantry and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $4,350. 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 $4,350 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,350 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,100 • Transport to appointments: $410 • Essential household items: $490 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

        hope it all works out, Nolan. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Bristol

            Hang in there, Nolan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

              Hope it all works out, Nolan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
