The Hague
After the loss of my brother, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in The Hague cost $75 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 24 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 $1,800 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $1,400 • Psychiatric assessment: $380 • Workbook and resources: $20 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Mila

  1. Quick update: $179 raised so far (10%). I made the first payment toward 24 therapy sessions. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($324 in total) I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
