Scarlett served four years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. She has been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a trained service dog and handler course. The quote comes to $2,200. Scarlett is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden. Where the $2,200 goes: • Essential household items: $400 • Transport to appointments: $210 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,590 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Raymond

      Wishing you the best, Raymond. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
