Jinja
After bullying at school, Karanja has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Jinja cost $15 each. Karanja 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 Karanja could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Karanja, 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 $315 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $270 • Psychiatric assessment: $40 • Workbook and resources: $5 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
