Ricardo is working through a violent robbery and needs help paying for 12 sessions with a licensed counselor.
Anywhere in the world1,104 views
After a violent robbery, Ricardo has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Montego Bay Wellbeing Centre cost $25 each.
Ricardo 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 Ricardo 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 Ricardo, 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 $600 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $460
• Psychiatric assessment: $135
• Workbook and resources: $5
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

hope it all works out, Anthony. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
so sorry you're going through this. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
