After military deployment, Ruma has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $300.

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.

    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.

        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.

            Thinking of you. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

            • Dalia Lubna Zaki

              Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.

                thinking of you, Ruma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
