Onitsha

After burnout at work, Amaka has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Onitsha cost $15 each. Amaka has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Amaka 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 Amaka, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment. Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable. Where the $250 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $210 • Psychiatric assessment: $30 • Workbook and resources: $10 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
