Therapy fund for Haile: 12 sessions with a licensed counselor
Haile is working through burnout at work and needs help paying for 12 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇪🇹 Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia1,944 views
After burnout at work, Haile has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Addis Ababa Counselling Collective cost $15 each.
Haile 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 Haile 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 Haile, 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 $200 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $115
• Psychiatric assessment: $60
• Workbook and resources: $25
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Take care, Lemlem. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Brampton donated after I showed her your page!
Wishing you peace, Lemlem. Hope the doctors have good news!
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Hang in there, Lemlem. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Addis Ababa!
Stay strong, Lemlem. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Good luck, Lemlem. Hope you get there. I hope May is when things finally get easier
rooting for you, Lemlem. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 21 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything
Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from New Delhi.
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Take care, Lemlem. Get well soon
thanks for sharing this, Lemlem. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Love from Joliet.
you're not alone. Get well soon. Put this on a community board in Udaipur this morning
take care, Lemlem. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
thinking of you, Lemlem. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Hồ Chí Minh City so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Warsaw.
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care
Sending love. Wishing Haile a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
