After bullying at school, Lovely has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Manila Counselling Collective cost $15 each. Lovely has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Lovely could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Lovely, and we're 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 $350 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $300 • Psychiatric assessment: $40 • Workbook and resources: $10 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Ronnie

          • take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
