I served eight years in the marines and was discharged in 2025 with a back injury. I have been waiting eleven 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 $3,350. 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 $3,350 goes: • Housing deposit and first month: $1,550 • Essential household items: $440 • Training provider fees: $1,360 If you're reading this, thank you.

            you're not alone, Gabriella. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
