After the miscarriage, Fiona has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Pretoria Wellbeing Centre cost $25 each. Fiona 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 Fiona could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Fiona, 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 $600 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $460 • Psychiatric assessment: $125 • Workbook and resources: $15 I hope life is good to you. - Thabo

  • Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Buffalo donated after I showed her your page.

    • Take care, Thabo. Hope the doctors have good news.

      • Hang in there, Thabo. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
