Mental health support for Erica after a violent robbery
After a violent robbery, Erica has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $500.
🇵🇭 Iloilo City, Iloilo, Philippines1,707 views
After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Iloilo City cost $20 each.
I have been honest with my employer and taken some time off, but I can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions I could afford. My therapist recommends 12 weekly sessions, and I know that consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part, and I'm grateful for your kindness without judgment.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $500 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $440
• Psychiatric assessment: $45
• Workbook and resources: $15
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you and your family, Erica. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from New Delhi.
hope things get better soon, Erica. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Lahore donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Keep going, Erica. Get well soon. We're a small family in Poitiers but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Erica. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you the best, Erica. Looking forward to the next update. After 13 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
good luck, Erica. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
hope things get better soon, Erica. Get well soon!
Stay strong, Erica. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Duisburg.
keep going. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you peace, Erica. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
stay strong, Erica. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Semarang
Hang in there, Erica. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Greetings from Lahore
