Your Generosity in Words

We began funding emergency grants for therapists at the end of 2024, and in just two years, we have been able to support over 40 therapists who were experiencing an emergency. This is all thanks to your generosity. From cancer to unexpected surgeries, traumatic miscarriages and natural disasters, we are grateful to provide some breathing room for therapists in their time of need. Here are just a few stories from grant recipients so you know where your donations go.

One therapist was struck by a car while on my bike causing injuries that limited their ability to work. They have been attending PT for a shoulder injury. A. says after receiving a grant “I will be able to pay utilities and bills I am behind on that allow me to see clients. It also will help me maintain my car that I utilize for community visits while providing community mental health.”

We cannot do the work of supporting therapists without your generosity. Thank you!

Someone else had to have a D&C and polypectomy due to debilitating bleeding during pregnancy. A few days after the surgery, she began hemorrhaging and was hospitalized again. S. missed a significant amount of work over the course of a few weeks, and have not been able to catch up. She notes “The stress reduction and relief this would bring me would be indescribable. Helping me to be the best mom and clinician I can be.”

This grant recipient had a stroke, and since then has been undergoing PT, endless medical appointments and procedures and support for the stroke. They reported losing 56% of my gross business revenue over the year due to decreased ability to work and time needed to attend to medical appointments.

Just weeks after starting a new position in a community agency, this therapist had to have heart surgery. The procedure required them to take at least 6 full weeks of unpaid leave, but they will most likely need up to 12 weeks of recovering. “This grant will help me continue my leave while I continue healing from heart surgery.”

Truely, we could not do the work we do without your donations. We are proud to say that over 75% of your donations go directly to grants and programming to support therapists. Because we are volunteer run and do not have a physical location, we are able to keep our overhead costs low so more of your funds go into direct support for therapists. We are so grateful to be able to do this work, and we couldn't do it without your help.
