After years of caregiving, Kimani 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 Kinondoni Counselling Collective cost $15 each. Kimani 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 Kimani 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 Kimani, 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 $200 goes: โ€ข 24 therapy sessions: $135 โ€ข Psychiatric assessment: $30 โ€ข Workbook and resources: $35 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
