After military deployment, María has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Girona cost $70 each. María 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 María 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 María, 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 $1,550 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,250 • Psychiatric assessment: $270 • Workbook and resources: $30 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Gerardo

      Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Osaka.
