One of our own

Hi everyone, one of our own wonderful members needs our help this week. It’s a hard read I’m afraid and we wish them extremely well as they’ve obviously had to endure so much. I know our well wishes and love from their 499 friends here will mean the world.

I’ve redacted some of the nomination to help protect their anonymity but we’re well aware of the gravity of the situation and just how much this poor person has been through.

Loads of love x

Hello, I’m going to ask a very personal request if 500 reasons could help with some trauma counselling? I have been advised to get some from a support clinic I’ve been speaking with but the wait is 24 months so either have to wait or choose to go private which is obviously a lot of money. I don’t want my name attached (hence not sending to 500 reasons email) but the last few years have taken me to a difficult place and I’ve been getting panicked in certain environments and flashbacks from an aggressive assault that happened several years ago and a recent personal loss that I’m still getting my head round. I was too busy with the (redacted place of work), the (redacted act of philanthropy) and taking care of my parents and didn’t want to talk about it so compartmentalised it which is why I think it’s catching up with me now.

I understand I may not be able to request for myself so If it’s not something that can be thrown in with the nominations it’s all good. X
