After a house fire, Abubakar has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Lagos cost $15 each.
Abubakar 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 Abubakar 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 Abubakar, 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: $220
• Psychiatric assessment: $25
• Workbook and resources: $5
With deep gratitude,
Ibrahim

Thanks for sharing this, Ibrahim. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
