After the loss of my brother, Sebastián 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 a private practice in Medellín cost $35 each. Sebastián 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 Sebastián 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 Sebastián, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $350 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $290 • Psychiatric assessment: $55 • Workbook and resources: $5 Thanks for being kind about this. - Isabel

  • Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Yogyakarta!

    • Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care!

      • Stay strong, Isabel. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
