Colton served twelve years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. He has been waiting nine 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 $3,300.
Colton 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 $3,300 goes:
• Essential household items: $290
• Training provider fees: $2,050
• Housing deposit and first month: $960
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

good luck, Nora. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hang in there, Nora. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
