After a house fire, Eliana has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in St. Petersburg cost $90 each. Eliana 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 Eliana could afford. The therapist recommends 12 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Eliana, 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 $2,850 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $2,450 • Psychiatric assessment: $340 • Workbook and resources: $60 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Jaxon

Updates from Jaxon

  1. Quick update: $1,036 raised so far (36%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($941 in total) I made the first payment toward psychiatric assessment. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $275 so far, I made the first payment toward psychiatric assessment.

          Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Nakuru.
