This tier provides donors with the opportunity to make a more substantial impact. Your contribution can help cover a portion of a therapy session for someone in need.

By choosing this tier, you're becoming a catalyst for change. Your donation can significantly contribute to subsidizing therapy sessions for individuals with fewer resources.

At this level, you're a true champion of transformation. Your generous donation can fund multiple therapy sessions, offering a lifeline to those who might not have had access otherwise.
