After the death of both parents, Sami has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at Cairo Wellbeing Centre cost $10 each. Sami 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 Sami 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 Sami, 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 $250 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $160 • Psychiatric assessment: $55 • Workbook and resources: $35 Glad we found this place. - Amal

  • it takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from San Sebastián.

    • you're not alone, Amal. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Cairo!

      • So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.

        • Thinking of you, Amal. Shared this with my family. Take care.

          • Thinking of you, Amal. Wishing Sami a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
