Marisol served fourteen years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2025 with chronic tinnitus. She has been waiting fourteen 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 $3,400. Marisol is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $3,400 goes: • Transport to appointments: $370 • Training provider fees: $2,550 • Essential household items: $480 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Tomás

  • Hang in there, Tomás. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

    • Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.

      • Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

        • Hope things get better soon, Tomás. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Port Harcourt.

          • Sending good thoughts, Tomás. Hope you get there. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
