After a difficult divorce, Wilma has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at Amsterdam Wellbeing Centre cost $90 each. Wilma has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Wilma 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 Wilma, 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 $1,900 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $1,600 • Psychiatric assessment: $270 • Workbook and resources: $30 If you're reading this, thank you. - Ellen
