After a house fire, Cesar has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Bacolod cost $20 each. Cesar 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 Cesar 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 Cesar, 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 $500 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $440 • Psychiatric assessment: $30 • Workbook and resources: $30 With deep gratitude, Rafael
