Veteran in need: Julian's next mission is stability

After four years of service, Julian is raising funds for a trained service dog and handler course.

I served four years in the navy and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting nine 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 $4,950. 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 $4,950 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,950 • Housing deposit and first month: $910 • Transport to appointments: $540 • Essential household items: $550 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Good luck. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 20 people at work. Love from Bogor.

      So sorry you're going through this, Julian. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

        Sending good thoughts, Julian. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
