Therapy fund for Andile: 10 sessions with a licensed counselor
Andile is working through the miscarriage and needs help paying for 10 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇿🇦 Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa2,443 views
After the miscarriage, Andile has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Stellenbosch cost $30 each.
Andile 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 Andile 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 Andile, 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 $700 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $560
• Psychiatric assessment: $115
• Workbook and resources: $25
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

How is Andile doing now?
Hope it all works out, Charlene. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
Praying for you, Charlene. Wishing Andile a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Andile!
10 therapy sessions is $560 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
thanks for sharing this, Charlene. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Stellenbosch.
Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Heraklion
Stay strong, Charlene. Get well soon. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
