After a house fire, Karan 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 the Mississauga Counselling Collective cost $60 each. Karan 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 Karan could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Karan, 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 $2,600 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $2,350 • Psychiatric assessment: $210 • Workbook and resources: $40 I hope life is good to you.

  2. 16% there. the plan for workbook and resources is now scheduled. Thank you.
