After a violent robbery, Aoi has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Kawasaki Counselling Collective cost $90 each. Aoi has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Aoi 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 Aoi, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $1,450 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $1,100 • Psychiatric assessment: $320 • Workbook and resources: $30 If you're reading this, thank you. - Junko
