Dola served six years in the navy and was discharged in 2024 with chronic tinnitus. She has been waiting eleven 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 $300.
Dola is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $300 goes:
• Essential household items: $45
• Transport to appointments: $65
• Housing deposit and first month: $190
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family, Ruma. Shared this with my family.
Stay strong, Ruma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Mumbai.
