San Diego
After bullying at school, Declan has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the San Diego Counselling Collective cost $70 each. Declan 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 Declan could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Declan, 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 $1,900 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $1,450 • Psychiatric assessment: $390 • Workbook and resources: $60 Thank you so much. - Skylar

Updates from Skylar

  1. Update from San Diego: I made the first payment toward 24 therapy sessions. We're at 41% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. We're at 11% thanks to 8 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($103 in total) I made the first payment toward 24 therapy sessions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
