Help Luca afford 16 counseling sessions
Luca is working through a violent robbery and needs help paying for 16 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇨🇦 Laval, Quebec, Canada1,577 views
After a violent robbery, Luca has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Laval Wellbeing Centre cost $125 each.
Luca 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 Luca could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Luca, 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 $1,800 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $1,400
• Psychiatric assessment: $370
• Workbook and resources: $30
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Jacob
Thank you all. We're at 40% now ($719). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward psychiatric assessment.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($614 in total) the plan for 16 therapy sessions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
11% there. the plan for workbook and resources is now scheduled. Thank you. - Jacob

Hope things get better soon, Jacob. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
