After a difficult divorce, Zewditu has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Jimma Wellbeing Centre cost $15 each.
Zewditu 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 Zewditu could afford. The therapist recommends 12 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Zewditu, 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 $200 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $175
• Psychiatric assessment: $20
• Workbook and resources: $5
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zewditu.
It's all in the list in the story. 12 therapy sessions is the big one at $175, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Essen this morning.
