After the death of both parents, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Rawalpindi cost $15 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 20 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 $250 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $185
• Psychiatric assessment: $40
• Workbook and resources: $25
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Kausar
Quick update: $125 raised so far (50%). I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($80 in total) I made the first payment toward workbook and resources. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Thinking of you, Kausar. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Jakarta this morning. Blessings!
Sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
you're not alone. Wishing Kausar a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Jerusalem donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
