Cynthia served ten years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. She has been waiting fourteen 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 $1,900. Cynthia is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $1,900 goes: • Training provider fees: $1,300 • Transport to appointments: $230 • Essential household items: $370 Every share and every dollar helps. - Leo
