After a difficult divorce, Wellington has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in São Paulo cost $25 each. Wellington 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 Wellington could afford. The therapist recommends 12 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Wellington, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $700 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $540 • Psychiatric assessment: $135 • Workbook and resources: $25 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Wellington?

    • Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about 12 therapy sessions, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.

    thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from San Miguel de Tucumán!

    • Wishing you peace, Luciana. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together.

      • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wellington.
