After the death of both parents, Ronnie 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 the Quezon City Counselling Collective cost $15 each.
Ronnie 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 Ronnie could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Ronnie, 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 $365 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $330
• Psychiatric assessment: $30
• Workbook and resources: $5
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

what exactly is the $365 for?
It's all in the list in the story. 20 therapy sessions is the big one at $330, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
thinking of you and your family, Emmanuel. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best!
