After a long hospital stay, Bereket has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Addis Ababa cost $10 each. Bereket 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 Bereket could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Bereket, and we're 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 $310 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $290 • Psychiatric assessment: $15 • Workbook and resources: $5 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
