After a violent robbery, Zakaria has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Scranton cost $125 each.
Zakaria 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 Zakaria could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Zakaria, 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 $2,100 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $1,700
• Psychiatric assessment: $360
• Workbook and resources: $40
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zakaria.
Sure. The biggest one is 24 therapy sessions, $1,700. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
wishing you the best, Hatem. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Fez.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Zakaria?
Thank you. If you're in Scranton I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Thanks for sharing this, Hatem. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 4 people at work. Greetings from Istanbul
