After a difficult divorce, Víctor 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 a private practice in Los Angeles cost $100 each. Víctor 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 Víctor could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Víctor, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $3,000 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $2,700 • Psychiatric assessment: $220 • Workbook and resources: $80 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Emilio

  1. We're at 24% thanks to 24 of you. I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($345 in total) the plan for psychiatric assessment is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($300). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
