Therapy fund for Rocío: 12 sessions with a licensed counselor
After the loss of my brother, Rocío has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $2,800.

After the loss of my brother, Rocío has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Boston cost $65 each.
Rocío 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 Rocío 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 Rocío, 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 $2,800 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $2,500
• Psychiatric assessment: $290
• Workbook and resources: $10
Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Josefa
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,010 in total) I made the first payment toward 12 therapy sessions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $1,654 so far, we've started the first stage.

Thanks for sharing this, Josefa. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Thinking of you, Josefa. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
