Zoya served eight years in the navy and was discharged in 2024 with chronic tinnitus. She has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a trained service dog and handler course. The quote comes to $850. Zoya is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden. Where the $850 goes: โ€ข Training provider fees: $440 โ€ข Housing deposit and first month: $185 โ€ข Transport to appointments: $100 โ€ข Essential household items: $125 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Stepan
