After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Negombo cost $10 each.
I have been honest with my employer and taken some time off, but I can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions I could afford. My therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and I know that consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part, and I'm 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 $355 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $280
• Psychiatric assessment: $70
• Workbook and resources: $5
With deep gratitude,
Kumari

Thinking of you and your family, Kumari. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
how is Kumari doing now?
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Shinjuku
Hope it all works out, Kumari. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 35 people at work. Take care!
Praying for you, Kumari. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
