After years of caregiving, Onyango has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Kasarani Counselling Collective cost $10 each. Onyango has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Onyango 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 Onyango, 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 $360 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $320 • Psychiatric assessment: $35 • Workbook and resources: $5 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Samuel
