After the death of both parents, Ian has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Jacksonville cost $115 each. Ian 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 Ian 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 Ian, 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 $2,500 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $2,100 • Psychiatric assessment: $320 • Workbook and resources: $80 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Howard
