Therapy fund for Kipchoge: 24 sessions with a licensed counselor
After years of caregiving, Kipchoge has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $205.

After years of caregiving, Kipchoge 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 Naivasha cost $15 each.
Kipchoge 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 Kipchoge 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 Kipchoge, 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 $205 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $165
• Psychiatric assessment: $35
• Workbook and resources: $5
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Rashidi
Thank you all. We're at 64% now ($131). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for psychiatric assessment is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($66 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Rooting for you, Rashidi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 8 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
