Mental health support for Ai after years of caregiving
After years of caregiving, Ai has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $1,900.

After years of caregiving, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Dayton cost $75 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 10 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $1,900 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $1,450
• Psychiatric assessment: $400
• Workbook and resources: $50
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Good luck, Ai. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Freiburg.
Hope things get better soon, Ai. Hope you get there. God bless.
Sending love, Ai. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Take care.
Sending strength, Ai. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Dayton
Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Lahore
