I served ten years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain 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 $4,700. 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 $4,700 goes: • Essential household items: $530 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,300 • Training provider fees: $2,870 Thank you so much. - Adalynn

Updates from Adalynn

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 34% funded and I made the first payment toward housing deposit and first month.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($1,061). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for housing deposit and first month is now scheduled.

  3. Small update. $446 so far, I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts.
