After a house fire, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at Addis Ababa Wellbeing Centre cost $10 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 $150 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $105
• Psychiatric assessment: $20
• Workbook and resources: $25
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Good luck, Genet. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Salem so I could bring a meal. Take care!
Sending strength, Genet. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Hang in there, Genet. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Addis Ababa
