Katherine served ten years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $5,000.
Katherine 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 $5,000 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,950
• Housing deposit and first month: $880
• Transport to appointments: $490
• Essential household items: $680
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
