After a house fire, Simone has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Campinas Wellbeing Centre cost $35 each. Simone 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 Simone 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 Simone, 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 $410 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $320 • Psychiatric assessment: $85 • Workbook and resources: $5 Thank you so much.

      Sure. The biggest one is 20 therapy sessions, $320. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.

  • Stay strong, Samuel. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in New York but we're thinking of you

    • Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Campinas
