Veteran in need: Camila's next mission is stability
An army veteran in Winston-Salem needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with hearing damage and PTSD.
🇺🇸 Winston-Salem, North Carolina, United States1,715 views
I served four years in the army and was discharged in 2025 with hearing damage and PTSD. 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 $5,050.
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 $5,050 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,800
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,550
• Transport to appointments: $480
• Essential household items: $220
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Camila. Hope this works out for you.
Sending love, Camila. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Pittsburgh
