Veteran in need: Rylee's next mission is stability
An engineering corps veteran in Nottingham needs help with a trained service dog and handler course after leaving service with a back injury.
Anywhere in the world1,878 views
I served six years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 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 $2,800.
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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,650
• Transport to appointments: $185
• Housing deposit and first month: $965
I hope life is good to you.

Best of luck, Rylee. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Cape Coast
Thinking of you and your family, Rylee. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Good luck, Rylee. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Warsaw.
Hope things get better soon, Rylee. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
hope you get there. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Sydney.
