Help Mark afford 10 counseling sessions
Mark is working through bullying at school and needs help paying for 10 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇺🇸 United States2,575 views
After bullying at school, Mark has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Grand Rapids Counselling Collective cost $110 each.
Mark 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 Mark could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Mark, 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 $1,700 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $1,450
• Psychiatric assessment: $230
• Workbook and resources: $20
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck, Allan. Your post was clear and honest.
Keep going, Allan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
You're not alone, Allan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Love from Mumbai.
Sending love, Allan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Ciudad de México this morning. Blessings.
You're not alone, Allan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. God bless
Sending good thoughts, Allan. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Take care, Allan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
wishing you the best, Allan. Wishing Mark a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Riyadh.
Hope it all works out, Allan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
