I served twelve years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee 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 $3,900.
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 $3,900 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,350
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,550
• Transport to appointments: $630
• Essential household items: $370
Thank you for reading my story.

Your post was clear and honest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from La Plata.
