Valentina's path to healing - EMDR therapy in Columbus
A course of EMDR therapy for Valentina could change everything; the cost is $2,500.

After the loss of my brother, Valentina has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Columbus Wellbeing Centre cost $75 each.
Valentina 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 Valentina 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 Valentina, 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 $2,500 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $2,200
• Psychiatric assessment: $240
• Workbook and resources: $60
Thanks for reading all this.

Good luck, Keith. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Karachi this morning. Thinking of Columbus.
Keep going, Keith. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Coyoacán.
