Hello my name is Kyle, I am a United States Marine that has been struggling with PTSD. I served Oct 2010- Oct 2014, stationed in Iwakuni, Japan and deployed to Afghanistan in 2014. I was a Diesel mechanic (3521 MOS) while on active duty, as well as over in afghanistan i was a Machine Gunner going on security operations in North East Area of Operations. with over 60 convoys, having a 80lb ied blow up 50 yards from me and having weapons pointed in my face i fell this is my only option. Since I got out ive been struggling with PTSD and adaptation to civilian life. I have been trying different treatments and doing research into what i can do to help me with my day to day life. I came to the conclusion that raising money to be able to get a service dog would greatly benefit me with my PTSD. I thank you for taking the time to read my story and donations
