After the loss of my brother, Maria has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Catania Wellbeing Centre cost $50 each. Maria 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 Maria 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 Maria, 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 $1,450 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $1,300 • Psychiatric assessment: $145 • Workbook and resources: $5 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
