Therapy fund for Bolaji: 24 sessions with a licensed counselor
After a violent robbery, Bolaji has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $365.
🇳🇬 Nnewi, Anambra, Nigeria681 views
After a violent robbery, Bolaji has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Nnewi cost $15 each.
Bolaji 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 Bolaji could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Bolaji, 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 $365 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $310
• Psychiatric assessment: $50
• Workbook and resources: $5
With deep gratitude,
Amaka
