After the loss of my brother, Charmaine has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Pasig Counselling Collective cost $15 each. Charmaine 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 Charmaine could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Charmaine, 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 $300 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $260 • Psychiatric assessment: $25 • Workbook and resources: $15 Thanks for being kind about this. - Faith

  • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 27 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything.

    • Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Lahore this morning. All the best.

      • Stay strong, Faith. I hope things turn around soon

        • Good luck, Faith. Hope this works out for you. After 7 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless!

          • Rooting for you, Faith. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care!
