Jerusalem

After the death of both parents, Shai has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Jerusalem cost $60 each. Shai 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 Shai could afford. The therapist recommends 12 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Shai, 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 $2,050 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $1,750 • Psychiatric assessment: $250 • Workbook and resources: $50 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
