After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Dammam Counselling Collective cost $50 each.
I have been honest with my employer and taken some time off, but I can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions I could afford. My therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and I know that consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part, and I'm 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 $1,400 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $1,200
• Psychiatric assessment: $180
• Workbook and resources: $20
If you're reading this, thank you.

Best of luck. Wishing Sawsan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
You're not alone, Sawsan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Dammam!
Thank you. If you're in Dammam I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Dammam.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Ogbomosho this morning. All the best!
Sending love, Sawsan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Dammam.
