After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Nakuru Counselling Collective 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 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 $300 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $260
• Psychiatric assessment: $30
• Workbook and resources: $10
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone, Akinyi. Shared this with my family.
Rooting for you, Akinyi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Praying for you, Akinyi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
