After years of caregiving, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Ibadan Wellbeing Centre cost $20 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 24 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 $255 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $210
• Psychiatric assessment: $40
• Workbook and resources: $5
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there, Yakubu. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
keep going, Yakubu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Jakarta.
