After a violent robbery, Runa has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Gazipur cost $10 each. Runa 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 Runa 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 Runa, 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 $300 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $270 • Psychiatric assessment: $15 • Workbook and resources: $15 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Rafiq

Small update. $211 so far, I made the first payment toward psychiatric assessment.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($156 in total) I made the first payment toward 10 therapy sessions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Gazipur: the plan for 10 therapy sessions is now scheduled. We're at 35% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
