Paul served four years; now needs help to get home
An engineering corps veteran in Munich needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with a traumatic brain injury.
🇩🇪 Munich, Bavaria, Germany1,070 views
I served four years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain 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 $1,750.
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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Essential household items: $420
• Transport to appointments: $390
• Housing deposit and first month: $940
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Paul
Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($87). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Munich: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 3% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
