After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Colombo Counselling Collective cost $20 each. I have been honest with my employer and taken some time off, but I can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions I could afford. My therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and I know that consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part, and I'm 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 $200 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $155 • Psychiatric assessment: $40 • Workbook and resources: $5 I hope life is good to you.

      Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Durgapur but we're thinking of you. God bless.

        Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from București
