After a house fire, Imani has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Machakos Counselling Collective cost $20 each.
Imani 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 Imani 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 Imani, 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 $450 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $360
• Psychiatric assessment: $60
• Workbook and resources: $30
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Update from Machakos: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 14% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($45 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

I hope things turn around soon. After 28 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Machakos.
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care!
