After the death of both parents, Tyler has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Sacramento cost $100 each. Tyler 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 Tyler 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 Tyler, 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 $2,800 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $2,450 • Psychiatric assessment: $310 • Workbook and resources: $40 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
