Popy served four years; now needs help to get home
An air force veteran in Mumbai needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with post-traumatic stress.
🇮🇳 India1,935 views
I served four years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting nine 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 $600.
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 $600 goes:
• Training provider fees: $180
• Housing deposit and first month: $240
• Transport to appointments: $85
• Essential household items: $95
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Popy. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Brasília.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Wudil
Take care, Popy. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
