I served eight years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $4,050.
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 $4,050 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,600
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,500
• Transport to appointments: $350
• Essential household items: $600
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Good luck, Sunil. Shared it with a few friends.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Swansea
take care. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Arlington.
Sending strength, Sunil. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Hope it all works out, Sunil. Hope this works out for you. All the best
Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from San Francisco
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Peoria but we're thinking of you.
