After the loss of my brother, Laura has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $1,500.

After the loss of my brother, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Rome cost $50 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 24 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $1,350
• Psychiatric assessment: $100
• Workbook and resources: $50
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Nakuru so I could bring a meal.
Take care. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Lapu-Lapu.
Wishing you the best, Laura. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. After 11 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best!
You're not alone, Laura. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
You're not alone, Laura. Your post was clear and honest
I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Duque de Caxias.
take care, Laura. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Sacramento donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Rome
Praying for you, Laura. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
