Therapy fund for Ruby: 16 sessions with a licensed counselor
Ruby is working through the loss of my brother and needs help paying for 16 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇨🇦 Canada1,068 views
After the loss of my brother, Ruby has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Calgary cost $105 each.
Ruby 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 Ruby could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Ruby, 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 $1,900 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $1,500
• Psychiatric assessment: $370
• Workbook and resources: $30
Thank you so much.

Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from San Sebastián.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Kasarani.
Stay strong, Alexander. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. Blessings
wishing you the best, Alexander. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
