Mental health support for Alok after the loss of my brother
Alok is working through the loss of my brother and needs help paying for 20 sessions with a licensed counselor.

After the loss of my brother, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Pune cost $20 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 20 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 $210 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $185
• Psychiatric assessment: $20
• Workbook and resources: $5
Thank you for reading my story.

Update from Pune: the plan for psychiatric assessment is now scheduled. We're at 20% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($21 in total) the plan for psychiatric assessment is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

You're not alone, Alok. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Pune
