After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Magelang cost $10 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 10 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 $400 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $350 • Psychiatric assessment: $25 • Workbook and resources: $25 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Siti

  1. Quick update: $40 raised so far (10%). I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Quick update: $15 raised so far (4%). I made the first payment toward psychiatric assessment. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
