After military deployment, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Jessore cost $10 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 16 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 $300 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $230 • Psychiatric assessment: $40 • Workbook and resources: $30 With deep gratitude, Ruma

    Changed my perspective

    The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.

    Delivered on promises

    Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.

    I was skeptical at first, but this person proved to be reliable and genuinely interested in helping. Their response time was incredible and their solutions were practical.

      Sending strength, Ruma. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Rome but we're thinking of you.

      • it takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!

        • Good luck, Ruma. Wishing Ruma a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 10 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
