After a long hospital stay, Emily has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at Christchurch Wellbeing Centre cost $100 each. Emily 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 Emily 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 Emily, 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 $1,050 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $790 • Psychiatric assessment: $230 • Workbook and resources: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Hang in there, Sophie. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Johannesburg.

    • hang in there, Sophie. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.

        • Thanks for sharing this, Sophie. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

          • Wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. After 14 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything
