After bullying at school, Kipchoge has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Mwanza cost $10 each.
Kipchoge 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 Kipchoge 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 Kipchoge, 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 $165 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $120
• Psychiatric assessment: $40
• Workbook and resources: $5
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Wishing you peace, Florence. 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 you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Stay strong, Florence. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
What exactly is the $165 for?
Sure. The biggest one is 24 therapy sessions, $120. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Iztapalapa but we're thinking of you.
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Multan!
praying for you, Florence. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Faisalabad
wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted.
Stay strong, Florence. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
sending love, Florence. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
