I served four years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $3,200. 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 $3,200 goes: • Training provider fees: $1,200 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,550 • Transport to appointments: $180 • Essential household items: $270 If you're reading this, thank you. - Bennett

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bennett!

    • Bennett P. JensenOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is training provider fees, $1,200. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.

    Sending good thoughts, Bennett. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Ottawa so I could bring a meal. Love from Newcastle upon Tyne.
