After a violent robbery, Brooks has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Bristol cost $100 each. Brooks 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 Brooks 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 Brooks, 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 $1,050 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $790 • Psychiatric assessment: $180 • Workbook and resources: $80 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Lucy

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($30 in total) I made the first payment toward 16 therapy sessions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Lucy
