Mental health support for Sheila after a violent robbery
Sheila is working through a violent robbery and needs help paying for 10 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇵🇭 Pasig, Metro Manila, Philippines1,128 views
After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Pasig cost $20 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 10 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 $410 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $340
• Psychiatric assessment: $65
• Workbook and resources: $5

Updates from Sheila
Small update. $176 so far, I made the first payment toward 10 therapy sessions.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($119 in total) the plan for 10 therapy sessions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $57 raised so far (14%). I made the first payment toward 10 therapy sessions. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Hope you get there. Sent it to 27 people at work. All the best
Hope it all works out. Wishing Sheila a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Pasig.
Thank you. If you're in Pasig I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Pasig.
Sending good thoughts, Sheila. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Sacramento so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Thinking of you, Sheila. I hope things turn around soon
Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Istanbul
