Help Usman afford 24 counseling sessions
After the death of both parents, Usman has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $200.

After the death of both parents, Usman has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Epe cost $15 each.
Usman 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 Usman could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Usman, 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 $200 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $135
• Psychiatric assessment: $45
• Workbook and resources: $20
Thank you for reading my story.
