Mental health support for Ruma after a house fire
A course of weekly cognitive behavioral therapy for Ruma could change everything; the cost is $310.
🇮🇳 India869 views
After a house fire, Ruma has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at Pune Wellbeing Centre cost $10 each.
Ruma 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 Ruma could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Ruma, 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 $310 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $240
• Psychiatric assessment: $65
• Workbook and resources: $5

Stay strong, Tahmina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best!
What's already covered and what's the $310 for?
It's all in the list in the story. 10 therapy sessions is the big one at $240, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
