I served ten years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $2,800.
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 $2,800 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $440
• Training provider fees: $1,900
• Essential household items: $460
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

You're not alone, Pilar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Shreveport.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Buenos Aires
Take care, Pilar. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Good luck, Pilar. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Shreveport.
Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Kikuyu.
Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Hamburg.
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Pretoria.
Sending good thoughts, Pilar. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
