After a house fire, Jenny has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at Makati Wellbeing Centre cost $15 each. Jenny has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Jenny 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 Jenny, 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 $300 goes: โ€ข 20 therapy sessions: $240 โ€ข Psychiatric assessment: $25 โ€ข Workbook and resources: $35 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
