Veteran in need: Obinna's next mission is stability
After ten years of service, Obinna is raising funds for a trained service dog and handler course.

I served ten years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting eleven 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 $700.
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 $700 goes:
• Training provider fees: $380
• Housing deposit and first month: $220
• Transport to appointments: $70
• Essential household items: $30
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope April is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Wudil
