After bullying at school, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at Kampala Wellbeing Centre cost $10 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 12 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 $265 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $240 • Psychiatric assessment: $20 • Workbook and resources: $5 Thank you so much. - Wafula

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    Went above and beyond

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wafula.

    • Wafula Paul KyagulanyiOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      It's all in the list in the story. 12 therapy sessions is the big one at $240, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.

  • Pamela C. Palmer

    Thanks for sharing this, Wafula. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 37 people at work.

      Sending strength, Wafula. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro.

        sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Tema so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

        • Hailey Porter

          take care, Wafula. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 3 people at work. Blessings

          • Kausar Hanif

            Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Santa Fe.
