I served four years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $650.
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 $650 goes:
• Training provider fees: $420
• Housing deposit and first month: $160
• Transport to appointments: $30
• Essential household items: $40
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Madhuri
It's all in the list in the story. training provider fees is the big one at $420, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
Thinking of you and your family, Madhuri. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Adama.
