Funmilayo's path to healing - family counseling in Lagos
Funmilayo is working through the miscarriage and needs help paying for 10 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇳🇬 Nigeria367 views
After the miscarriage, Funmilayo has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Lagos Counselling Collective cost $15 each.
Funmilayo 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 Funmilayo 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 Funmilayo, 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 $305 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $250
• Psychiatric assessment: $50
• Workbook and resources: $5
Thanks for reading all this.

Take care, Obinna. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
rooting for you, Obinna. Hope this works out for you. All the best
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Kawasaki.
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Wishing you the best, Obinna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Lagos.
Take care, Obinna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hang in there, Obinna. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Kakamega so I could bring a meal. All the best
