After military deployment, Thilina has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at Jaffna Wellbeing Centre cost $15 each. Thilina 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 Thilina could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Thilina, 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 $500 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $410 • Psychiatric assessment: $70 • Workbook and resources: $20 I hope life is good to you.

      Thank you. If you're in Jaffna I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

  • Thanks for sharing this, Pradeep. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.

    • best of luck, Pradeep. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from San Jose!

      • Thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Auckland so I could bring a meal.
