After burnout at work, Elijah has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Auckland cost $100 each.
Elijah 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 Elijah 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 Elijah, 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 $1,150 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $770
• Psychiatric assessment: $330
• Workbook and resources: $50
I hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon. Wishing Elijah a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Dehiwala.
Thinking of you. Wishing Elijah a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Auckland
Thinking of you, Brooks. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Rooting for you, Brooks. Hope the doctors have good news.
Get well soon. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Auckland.
