After the miscarriage, Nokuthula has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at East London Wellbeing Centre cost $25 each. Nokuthula 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 Nokuthula 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 Nokuthula, 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 $515 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $420 • Psychiatric assessment: $90 • Workbook and resources: $5 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Nomsa

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($358 in total) I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. We're at 9% thanks to 4 of you. I made the first payment toward workbook and resources. More news soon.

      It's all in the list in the story. 10 therapy sessions is the big one at $420, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
