After military deployment, Thomas has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at San Jose Wellbeing Centre cost $100 each. Thomas 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 Thomas 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 Thomas, 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 $2,400 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $2,150 • Psychiatric assessment: $180 • Workbook and resources: $70 I hope life is good to you. - Annabelle
