Help Marwan afford 16 counseling sessions
After military deployment, Marwan has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $1,500.

After military deployment, Marwan has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Jeddah cost $75 each.
Marwan 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 Marwan 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 Marwan, 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 $1,500 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $1,200
• Psychiatric assessment: $250
• Workbook and resources: $50
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you, Salim. I hope things turn around soon.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
sending good thoughts, Salim. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Houston.
Praying for you, Salim. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Salim. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Addis Ababa this morning
