I served twelve years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $2,700.
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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $340
• Essential household items: $500
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,860
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best, Rashid. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Rashid. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Love from Buffalo.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
stay strong, Rashid. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Memphis
