After bullying at school, Vignesh has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Thane cost $20 each. Vignesh 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 Vignesh could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Vignesh, 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 $450 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $390 • Psychiatric assessment: $30 • Workbook and resources: $30 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Uberlândia.

    • Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Lansing this morning. Thinking of Thane

      • Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Likoni donated after I showed her your page.

        • Hang in there, Vidya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Thane.
