After military deployment, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Fresno cost $125 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. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $3,050 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $2,700 • Psychiatric assessment: $320 • Workbook and resources: $30 With deep gratitude, Todd

      Thinking of you, Todd. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up.

      • Praying for you, Todd. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Palmira but we're thinking of you. All the best.
