After a house fire, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Celaya Counselling Collective cost $25 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 20 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. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $550 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $480 • Psychiatric assessment: $55 • Workbook and resources: $15 With deep gratitude, Beatriz

Updates from Beatriz

  1. Update from Celaya: we've started the first stage. We're at 69% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($200 in total) I made the first payment toward 20 therapy sessions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Quick response, great follow-up

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

    Professional and kind

    This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.

  • Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

    • Keep going, Beatriz. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.

      • Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Surabaya

        • Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 19 people at work. Greetings from Surrey

          • Wishing Beatriz a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 10 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

            • Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
