After a long hospital stay, Tommaso has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Lecce Counselling Collective cost $70 each. Tommaso 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 Tommaso 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 Tommaso, and we're 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 $1,600 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $1,300 • Psychiatric assessment: $270 • Workbook and resources: $30 Thanks for reading all this. - Giuseppe

  3. Update from Lecce: we've started the first stage. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Lecce.

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about 12 therapy sessions, advice is welcome too. Good question.

        Rooting for you, Giuseppe. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Mysuru.
