Help Gerald afford 20 counseling sessions

After bullying at school, Gerald has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Aurora cost $100 each. Gerald 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 Gerald 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 Gerald, 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 $1,300 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $990 • Psychiatric assessment: $280 • Workbook and resources: $30 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
