After years of caregiving, Edgardo has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at Quezon City Wellbeing Centre cost $20 each. Edgardo 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 Edgardo could afford. The therapist recommends 12 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Edgardo, 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 $250 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $185 • Psychiatric assessment: $30 • Workbook and resources: $35 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
