After the death of both parents, Shailesh has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at Bengaluru Wellbeing Centre cost $15 each. Shailesh has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Shailesh 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 Shailesh, 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 $400 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $340 • Psychiatric assessment: $30 • Workbook and resources: $30 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Mehul
