After a long hospital stay, Benjamin has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Los Angeles cost $140 each. Benjamin 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 Benjamin could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Benjamin, 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 $1,150 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $900 • Psychiatric assessment: $210 • Workbook and resources: $40 With deep gratitude, Katherine

Updates from Katherine

Small update. $141 so far, I made the first payment toward 20 therapy sessions.
Update from Los Angeles: we've started the first stage. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($50 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Katherine
