After a house fire, Emilio has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Anaheim cost $80 each. Emilio has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Emilio could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Emilio, 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 $2,950 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $2,550 • Psychiatric assessment: $370 • Workbook and resources: $30 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
