Milan
After a violent robbery, Stefano has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Milan cost $55 each. Stefano 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 Stefano could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Stefano, 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 $1,800 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,500 • Psychiatric assessment: $260 • Workbook and resources: $40 Thanks for being kind about this.
