Veteran in need: Franziska's next mission is stability
An army veteran in Duisburg needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with hearing damage and PTSD.
🇩🇪 Duisburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany4,059 views
Wolfgang served four years in the army and was discharged in 2021 with hearing damage and PTSD. He 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 $2,250.
Wolfgang 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 $2,250 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,700
• Essential household items: $185
• Transport to appointments: $365
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you the best, Franziska. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Duisburg
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Ottawa this morning.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wolfgang
Training provider fees is $1,700 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
wishing you the best, Franziska. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from New Orleans.
Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Málaga
how is Wolfgang doing now?
Sending good thoughts, Franziska. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hope it all works out, Franziska. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Mumbai.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Duisburg
Thank you. If you're in Duisburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
thinking of you. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
