Living in Millsboro, Delaware, I have found solace in the quiet moments of the community, but my journey with civilian PTSD has often felt isolating. I've been searching for ways to reconnect with the world around me, and a service dog offers a lifeline I've yearned for. However, most support is tailored to veterans and first responders, leaving me feeling overlooked despite my need being just as real.
A service dog would bring a sense of safety and companionship, helping me navigate daily challenges with more ease. The dog’s presence would be a steady comfort, aiding during overwhelming moments. Being able to achieve this goal feels like reaching toward a future with hope. Yet, the cost—$5,400—is daunting without support. This journey is deeply personal, and having a community around me would mean everything as I work toward finding healing and peace.
