Help My Bestie Get Therapy
Donation protected
Hi, my name is DJ Lopez Draschner and I'm trying to raise money so that my best friend can get therapy.
Currently where she lives in Ontario, Canada there isn't any assistance for people with mental illness. She has PTSD, Bipolar and some other issues that were made better by going to a therapist. However, lately, she hasn't been working so she can no longer pay for her 85 dollar sessions.
They are expensive and she is one of many patients who needs intense therapy to help her feel better. Which will allow her to live a happier, healthier life.
A little backstory:
(I'm leaving her name out of this as she wishes to stay anonymous)
She unfortunately was in a string of abusive and unsafe relationships and she is also a sexual assault victim. Because of these horrible events, they left her with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD. This can cause the brain to change and alter itself after a traumatic event. I also suffer from this. It is hard to live life without medications and therapy.
She was also diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depressive) recently. This is also an intense mental illness that left untreated, can have some negative effects.
She is suicidal and has been struggling with these thoughts for many years. We keep a watchful eye on her as loved ones but we are very worried about her.
How Soon Will We Need Funds?
We will be needing funds as soon as possible, if possible! It's important we get her to see someone asap. Mental illness doesn't wait.
How Will Your Funds Help Her?
They will help her pay for sessions with her therapist.
Each session costs her $85. She needs to see her doctor at least every 2 weeks. This adds up and quickly.
There is no way she can get the government to pay and she has no other options. She is really counting on the help of this and her own funds to get the help she needs.
Because she is feeling suicidal, it is super important we get her into a session as soon as possible. She will go days some times without eating or drinking which is highly dangerous! When she was on treatment and on medication, she was more balanced and was living healthier. She needs to get back to that state. It's so important.
As many of us know, struggling with mental illness isn't easy and its worse when you are on your own. Any help you can offer is appreciated!
Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and taking the time to help fund her therapy sessions!
