After the death of both parents, Céline has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Toronto Counselling Collective cost $75 each. Céline has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Céline 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 Céline, 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 $1,350 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $850 • Psychiatric assessment: $440 • Workbook and resources: $60 With deep gratitude, Raphaël
