Austin
After years of caregiving, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Austin cost $130 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 $2,750 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $2,200 • Psychiatric assessment: $510 • Workbook and resources: $40 With deep gratitude, Ezekiel

    Hang in there, Ezekiel. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Durham donated after I showed her your page.

          keep going, Ezekiel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Flint but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Flint.

              You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Amsterdam.
