After burnout at work, Ruby has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Dundee Wellbeing Centre cost $120 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 24 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 $1,200 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $860 • Psychiatric assessment: $290 • Workbook and resources: $50 Every share and every dollar helps. - Lydia

      Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Eldoret.

        Hang in there, Lydia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
