My name is Eric, and recently I began experiencing severe panic attacks that turned my world upside down. At first, I tried outpatient help, hoping it would be enough, but unfortunately, it wasn’t effective and, in some ways, made things worse. After a few hospital visits, my mental health continued to deteriorate, and I realized I needed more intensive support. That’s when I made the difficult decision to check myself into a high intensive mental health program, where I could finally focus on getting the help I need right now.

This journey hasn’t just affected me—it’s also been incredibly hard on my family. The cost of the program is significant due to my high deductible, and I haven’t been able to work since the beginning of December. My wife has been carrying a heavy load, raising our son mostly on her own, and my mom even flew in from California to help take care of things while my wife is at work. The financial and emotional stress has been overwhelming for all of us.

The funds raised will go directly toward covering the cost of my treatment and helping with our living expenses while I’m unable to work. If anyone is able to assist us in our time of need, any little bit will help. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my story and for considering supporting my family during this challenging chapter.
