After years of caregiving, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Birmingham cost $65 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 12 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 $1,400 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $1,150 • Psychiatric assessment: $230 • Workbook and resources: $20 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Mason

      Sending good thoughts, Mason. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Pune but we're thinking of you. Blessings

      • You're not alone, Mason. Hope the doctors have good news. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

        • Praying for you, Mason. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Agra!

          • It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Birmingham!

                  Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. After 12 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

                  • Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 29 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
