Mental health support for Devi after years of caregiving
A course of EMDR therapy for Devi could change everything; the cost is $405.
Anywhere in the world1,128 views
After years of caregiving, Devi has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Durban cost $35 each.
Devi 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 Devi 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 Devi, 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 $405 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $330
• Psychiatric assessment: $70
• Workbook and resources: $5
Every share and every dollar helps.
