Yolanda served twelve years in the army and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. She has been waiting nine 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 $4,750.
Yolanda 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 $4,750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,150
• Housing deposit and first month: $980
• Transport to appointments: $230
• Essential household items: $390
Thanks for being kind about this.

You're not alone, Emilio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
it takes guts to ask. Well done. After 6 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Lalitpur.
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope April is when things finally get easier. All the best.
