After bullying at school, Amira has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Cairo Counselling Collective cost $10 each. Amira 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 Amira 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 Amira, 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 $400 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $320 • Psychiatric assessment: $65 • Workbook and resources: $15 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • keep going, Hiba. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best.

    • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Amira!

      • Hiba Nour TahaOwnerAnswer

        10 therapy sessions is $320 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.

    • Best of luck, Hiba. Get well soon. I'll check back for the next update

      • is there anything that isn't money that would help Amira?

          Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about 10 therapy sessions, advice is welcome too.

      • hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Mississauga this morning!

        • So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

            sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Dehiwala.

            • Praying for you, Hiba. Get well soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.

              • You're not alone, Hiba. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best!

                • Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 12 people at work. God bless.

                  • Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.

                      Sending good thoughts, Hiba. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Konya donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
