Messina
After the death of both parents, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Messina Wellbeing Centre cost $55 each. I have been honest with my employer and taken some time off, but I can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions I could afford. My therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and I know that consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part, and I'm 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 $1,150 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $890 • Psychiatric assessment: $195 • Workbook and resources: $65 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Inna

  1. Quick update: $149 raised so far (13%). I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. We're at 6% thanks to 1 of you. I made the first payment toward 16 therapy sessions. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($85 in total) I made the first payment toward workbook and resources. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

              Thank you. If you're in Messina I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.

                  Wishing you peace, Inna. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Toronto donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Messina.
