Tayo's path to healing - a structured recovery program in Lagos
Tayo is working through a violent robbery and needs help paying for 16 sessions with a licensed counselor.
Anywhere in the world1,661 views
After a violent robbery, Tayo has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Lagos Wellbeing Centre cost $15 each.
Tayo 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 Tayo could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Tayo, 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 $255 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $200
• Psychiatric assessment: $50
• Workbook and resources: $5
Thanks for reading all this.

How is Tayo doing now?
Hope things get better soon, Nnamdi. Shared this with my family. God bless
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. God bless
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tayo
Sure. The biggest one is 16 therapy sessions, $200. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.
Good luck, Nnamdi. This could happen to any of us. Love from Coatzacoalcos.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Lagos.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Tayo?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about 16 therapy sessions, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Rawalpindi
