Gustavo is working through a car accident and needs help paying for 12 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇲🇽 Iztapalapa, Ciudad de México, Mexico715 views
After a car accident, Gustavo has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Iztapalapa Counselling Collective cost $35 each.
Gustavo 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 Gustavo could afford. The therapist recommends 12 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Gustavo, 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 $850 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $740
• Psychiatric assessment: $90
• Workbook and resources: $20
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best, Nuria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Mombasa but we're thinking of you.
Stay strong, Nuria. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Iztapalapa
