I served fourteen years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 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 $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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $400
• Housing deposit and first month: $200
• Transport to appointments: $75
• Essential household items: $75
Glad we found this place.

keep going, Polina. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
hope it all works out, Polina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Kyiv!

Sending good thoughts, Polina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 38 people at work. Thinking of Kyiv.
