After the death of both parents, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in San Diego cost $135 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 20 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 $2,000 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,800 • Psychiatric assessment: $165 • Workbook and resources: $35 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

        wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 30 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
