After military deployment, Pankaj has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $400.

After military deployment, Pankaj has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Jaipur Counselling Collective cost $10 each.
Pankaj 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 Pankaj could afford. The therapist recommends 12 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Pankaj, 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 $400 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $310
• Psychiatric assessment: $55
• Workbook and resources: $35
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

- Honest and trustworthy
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.
- Would recommend to anyone
This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.

Stay strong, Vandana. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Vandana. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Tema but we're thinking of you. All the best.
you're not alone. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
