I served six years in the army and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. 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 $3,950.
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 $3,950 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,300
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,100
• Transport to appointments: $320
• Essential household items: $230
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you and your family, Yves. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
take care, Yves. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Brest
You're not alone, Yves. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Stellenbosch.
hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 15 people at work
