After a house fire, Leonardo has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Birmingham cost $90 each. Leonardo 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 Leonardo could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Leonardo, 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 $1,000 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $700 • Psychiatric assessment: $260 • Workbook and resources: $40 Thank you so much. - Brandon
