Therapy fund for Mukasa: 10 sessions with a licensed counselor

Mukasa is working through the loss of my brother and needs help paying for 10 sessions with a licensed counselor.

After the loss of my brother, Mukasa has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at Nairobi Wellbeing Centre cost $20 each. Mukasa 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 Mukasa could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Mukasa, and we're 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 $500 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $390 • Psychiatric assessment: $75 • Workbook and resources: $35 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Kiptoo

  1. Small update. $145 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($110 in total) I made the first payment toward psychiatric assessment. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from Nairobi: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Kiptoo

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mukasa.

      10 therapy sessions is $390 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.

    Keep going, Kiptoo. Wishing Mukasa a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
