Lesego's path to healing - a structured recovery program in Pretoria
Lesego is working through the loss of my brother and needs help paying for 24 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇿🇦 Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa530 views
After the loss of my brother, 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 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Pretoria cost $25 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 24 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 $750 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $640
• Psychiatric assessment: $105
• Workbook and resources: $5

hope it all works out, Lesego. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Rio de Janeiro so I could bring a meal.
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. After 23 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Mombasa.
sending strength, Lesego. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
