After years of caregiving, Auma has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Nairobi cost $10 each.
Auma 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 Auma could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Auma, 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 $250 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $170
• Psychiatric assessment: $50
• Workbook and resources: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

So sorry you're going through this, Wangari. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Nairobi.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Kassel
Thinking of you, Wangari. This could happen to any of us. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Takoradi donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Nairobi
