After the loss of my brother, Natalie has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Duluth Wellbeing Centre cost $115 each. Natalie 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 Natalie could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Natalie, 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 $1,800 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,450 • Psychiatric assessment: $330 • Workbook and resources: $20 Thank you so much. - Violet
