Ahmed is working through the loss of my brother and needs help paying for 16 sessions with a licensed counselor.

After the loss of my brother, Ahmed has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Polokwane Counselling Collective cost $30 each.
Ahmed has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Ahmed could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Ahmed, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $450 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $410
• Psychiatric assessment: $35
• Workbook and resources: $5
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace, Pieter. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
thinking of you, Pieter. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
