I served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. I have been waiting eleven 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 $750. 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 $750 goes: • Training provider fees: $400 • Housing deposit and first month: $250 • Transport to appointments: $100 Thanks for reading all this.

    Hang in there, Tumusiime. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Turin

      Praying for you. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care

        Thinking of you and your family, Tumusiime. Looking forward to the next update. After 18 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

            Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Likoni.
