After a violent robbery, Leo has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Quezon City Counselling Collective cost $20 each. Leo 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 Leo 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 Leo, 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 $360 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $290 • Psychiatric assessment: $65 • Workbook and resources: $5 With deep gratitude, Rolando

      • So sorry you're going through this, Rolando. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 20 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
