Awka
After a house fire, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Awka cost $20 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 16 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 $365 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $320 • Psychiatric assessment: $40 • Workbook and resources: $5 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

            Sure. The biggest one is 16 therapy sessions, $320. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.

              good luck, Nkechi. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Awka.
