I served twelve years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with a back injury. 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 $500. 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 $500 goes: • Training provider fees: $210 • Housing deposit and first month: $195 • Transport to appointments: $80 • Essential household items: $15 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Rashed

Updates from Rashed

  1. Update from Prayagraj: I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. We're at 65% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Quick update: $285 raised so far (57%). I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 22% now ($110). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for housing deposit and first month is now scheduled.
