I served six years in the air force and was discharged in 2021 with a back 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 $800.
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 $800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $490
• Housing deposit and first month: $210
• Transport to appointments: $35
• Essential household items: $65
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mutua
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. training provider fees comes first ($490) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
wishing you the best, Mutua. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Nakuru
keep going, Mutua. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Ikeja but we're thinking of you.
shared this with my family. After 16 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
take care, Mutua. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from San Francisco.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Addis Ababa
