After bullying at school, Jonathan has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Pittsburgh Counselling Collective cost $90 each. Jonathan 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 Jonathan could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Jonathan, 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 $2,350 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,950 • Psychiatric assessment: $380 • Workbook and resources: $20 With deep gratitude, Isabelle

            It's all in the list in the story. 20 therapy sessions is the big one at $1,950, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
