Veteran in need: Hannah's next mission is stability
Hannah served four years in the marines; $4,550 would cover a trained service dog and handler course.

I served four years in the marines and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain 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 $4,550.
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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $4,550 goes:
• Essential household items: $630
• Training provider fees: $2,550
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,370

sending strength, Hannah. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Los Angeles!
hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
What exactly is the $4,550 for?
Keep going, Hannah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Oakland.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. After 17 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Augusta.
you're not alone. Your post was clear and honest.
You're not alone, Hannah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
