After military deployment, Santiago 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 Móstoles Wellbeing Centre cost $45 each. Santiago 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 Santiago 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 Santiago, 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 $2,050 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,750 • Psychiatric assessment: $270 • Workbook and resources: $30 With deep gratitude, Inés

  • Keep going, Inés. Wishing Santiago a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.

    • Keep going, Inés. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
