Mahesh served four years in the navy and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. He has been waiting seven 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 $900.
Mahesh is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $900 goes:
• Training provider fees: $470
• Housing deposit and first month: $350
• Transport to appointments: $70
• Essential household items: $10
Thank you so much.

Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
