Rome
After a violent robbery, Maria 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 a private practice in Rome cost $90 each. Maria 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 Maria 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 Maria, 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 $1,700 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,450 • Psychiatric assessment: $240 • Workbook and resources: $10 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • Thanks for sharing this, Mattia. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      Wishing you the best, Mattia. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Arlington.

      • So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 8 people at work. God bless.

        • you're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Rome.
