After burnout at work, Fernando has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Cebu City Counselling Collective cost $15 each. Fernando 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 Fernando could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Fernando, 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 $500 goes: โ€ข 24 therapy sessions: $420 โ€ข Psychiatric assessment: $75 โ€ข Workbook and resources: $5 With deep gratitude, Christian

      Wishing you peace, Christian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best

      • Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Londrina this morning. God bless

        • Stay strong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best.

          • Best of luck, Christian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Cebu City

            • Best of luck, Christian. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Fort Worth
