Mental health support for Marían after a violent robbery
Marían is working through a violent robbery and needs help paying for 24 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇨🇴 Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia511 views
After a violent robbery, María has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Medellín cost $30 each.
María 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 María 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 María, 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 $500 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $420
• Psychiatric assessment: $70
• Workbook and resources: $10
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending good thoughts, Nicolás. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Medellín.
Rooting for you, Nicolás. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Laredo but we're thinking of you. Love from Laredo.
Hope it all works out, Nicolás. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Yekaterinburg but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Yekaterinburg.
Take care, Nicolás. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
