After the death of both parents, Shailesh 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 Pune cost $15 each. Shailesh 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 Shailesh 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 Shailesh, 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 $250 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $210 • Psychiatric assessment: $35 • Workbook and resources: $5 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
