Help Xiu afford 16 counseling sessions
After a long hospital stay, Xiu has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $2,450.

After a long hospital stay, Xiu has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Riverside cost $65 each.
Xiu 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 Xiu could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Xiu, 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 $2,450 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $2,100
• Psychiatric assessment: $300
• Workbook and resources: $50
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Xiu.
It's all in the list in the story. 16 therapy sessions is the big one at $2,100, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Best of luck, Mei. Hope this works out for you. Love from Lahore.
