After bullying at school, Mwangi has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Nairobi Counselling Collective cost $15 each.
Mwangi 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 Mwangi 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 Mwangi, 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 $260 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $200
• Psychiatric assessment: $55
• Workbook and resources: $5
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

The list at the bottom is the whole picture. 10 therapy sessions is the biggest at $200. Let me know if you want more detail.
