After a long hospital stay, Luke 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 Ann Arbor cost $80 each. Luke 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 Luke 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 Luke, 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 $2,200 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,800 • Psychiatric assessment: $320 • Workbook and resources: $80 Thank you so much. - Brian

                          hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
