Augusta
After the death of both parents, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Augusta cost $80 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 $1,350 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $1,050 • Psychiatric assessment: $230 • Workbook and resources: $70 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Theodore

Updates from Theodore

  1. Quick update: $532 raised so far (39%). I made the first payment toward 10 therapy sessions. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $312 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($152 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
