After the death of both parents, Alexei has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Novosibirsk Counselling Collective cost $40 each. Alexei 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 Alexei could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Alexei, and we're 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 $750 goes: โ€ข 10 therapy sessions: $600 โ€ข Psychiatric assessment: $145 โ€ข Workbook and resources: $5 Thank you for reading my story. - Vladimir
