After burnout at work, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the São Paulo Counselling Collective 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 16 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. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $800 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $630 • Psychiatric assessment: $135 • Workbook and resources: $35 With deep gratitude, Amanda

Updates from Amanda

  1. Small update. $500 so far, the plan for 16 therapy sessions is now scheduled.

  2. Quick update: $260 raised so far (32%). I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($180 in total) I made the first payment toward 16 therapy sessions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

              Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
