Graciela served ten years in the army and was discharged in 2025 with hearing damage and PTSD. She has been waiting fourteen 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 $4,000. Graciela 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 $4,000 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,000 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,050 • Transport to appointments: $360 • Essential household items: $590 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
