Mental health support for Kamau after years of caregiving
After years of caregiving, Kamau has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $400.

After years of caregiving, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Thika 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 16 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 $400 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $350
• Psychiatric assessment: $40
• Workbook and resources: $10

Praying for you, Kamau. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Bogotá donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Thika
good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care
You're not alone, Kamau. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope April is when things finally get easier.
