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.
