Viktor served ten years; now needs help to get home
After ten years of service, Viktor is raising funds for a trained service dog and handler course.
🇺🇦 Kyiv, Ukraine573 views
Iryna served ten years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. She has been waiting seven 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 $1,250.
Iryna 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 $1,250 goes:
• Training provider fees: $590
• Housing deposit and first month: $480
• Transport to appointments: $105
• Essential household items: $75
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Viktor
Good news. Because of your gifts ($236 in total) I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
