Therapy fund for Awino: 16 sessions with a licensed counselor
After a house fire, Awino has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $300.

After a house fire, Awino has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Mombasa cost $20 each.
Awino 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 Awino 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 Awino, 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 $300 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $210
• Psychiatric assessment: $80
• Workbook and resources: $10
Thank you for reading my story.

how is Awino doing now?
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Mumbai
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Awino.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. 16 therapy sessions comes first ($210) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
sending love. This could happen to any of us. Blessings
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Mombasa
You're not alone, Esther. Get well soon. Please keep us posted.
Keep going. 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
Praying for you, Esther. This could happen to any of us. Love from Los Angeles.
Sending strength, Esther. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Lahore.
