Mental health support for Derek after a house fire
A course of weekly cognitive behavioral therapy for Derek could change everything; the cost is $2,400.

After a house fire, Derek has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Fort Worth Wellbeing Centre cost $80 each.
Derek 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 Derek could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Derek, 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 $2,400 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $2,000
• Psychiatric assessment: $340
• Workbook and resources: $60
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
