After the loss of my brother, Sophia has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Aurora Counselling Collective cost $120 each. Sophia has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Sophia could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Sophia, 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 $1,350 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,100 • Psychiatric assessment: $200 • Workbook and resources: $50 Thanks for being kind about this.

    • it takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Aurora.

      • Thinking of you and your family, Eleanor. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care

            Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. 20 therapy sessions comes first ($1,100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.

        • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.

          • it takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

            • You're not alone, Eleanor. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

              • stay strong, Eleanor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.

                • Praying for you, Eleanor. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Messina.
