Therapy fund for Marcos: 12 sessions with a licensed counselor
A course of weekly cognitive behavioral therapy for Marcos could change everything; the cost is $915.

After military deployment, Marcos 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 a private practice in Vitória da Conquista cost $30 each.
Marcos 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 Marcos 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 Marcos, 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 $915 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $790
• Psychiatric assessment: $120
• Workbook and resources: $5

Updates from Letícia
Small update. $422 so far, the plan for 12 therapy sessions is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($147 in total) I made the first payment toward psychiatric assessment. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope things get better soon, Letícia. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. All the best
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Victoria
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Üsküdar this morning. Blessings.
Best of luck, Letícia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
hang in there, Letícia. Hope you get there. After 11 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Los Angeles.
Hope things get better soon, Letícia. Your post was clear and honest.
