Hi folks,

Summertime is a great time to help out a fellow member who's in need of our great community's support.

Many of you know DechanDawa, who's been a member here since Nov. 2015. She needs help to get through a tough financial spot to get through the month of August, as a few changes in her life means she's going to find it very difficult to pay bills due without our assistance.

This member has submitted an application, which has been reviewed and approved, for a Community Connection Grant from our nonprofit, the Psych Central Community Connection.

I'm asking you to please consider donating to this Community Fund Drive. I know that a financial contribution may not be possible, so if that's the case, please leave your prayers and thoughts privately or in this thread.

Psych Central will match dollar for dollar of every dollar donated (up to the maximum of $250; $500 total to the member). Every dollar counts, so even if you can afford just $5, please consider this request.

Donations can be made through PayPal (using your credit card or bank account) to us at:

DONATE | Psych Central Community Connection

Otherwise, send your check or money order (no cash, please) to:

Psych Central Community Connection
55 Pleasant St., Suite 207
Newburyport, MA 01950

Everyone who donates gets access to our exclusive Poohbah Forum, and our thanks for helping out another member in need in our community. In addition, donations are tax deductible as allowable by law, as the Psych Central Community Connection is a recognized 501(c)3 public charity.

This Community Fund Drive will run for approximately one week; donations will close on Thursday, August 9, 2018

As always, I thank you for your kind consideration and support.



Best,
DocJohn

I donated using my old email address because paypal won't let me change to the new email address. Don't know if it sent through because my internet's being funny today.

Dechandawa, I hope your difficulties ease up soon

Yes, I just remembered I recently cleared my profile of most facts. (Since reading this I have gone back in and filled in the blank spaces!)

I came on Psych Central wanting to find out about medication for depression/anxiety. I have ended up taking a holistic stance (without medication) which includes meditation, running, swimming, journaling and other holistic modalities. I have not been able to find affordable mental health care re: therapy, in my area. I mostly have stress from a dire financial situation and geographic social isolation.


I don't know what else to say. I became vegetarian and I gave up alcohol since coming on Psych Central, and have taken up running.

I do not yet know if mental health problems can 100% managed via holistic methods but that is what I am trying to do, and I come on Psych Central for advice, support, and encouragement, and also "to give back."

I donated, and I hope you'll be alright.

I will try to donate more after I have a little $. Hopefully next week some time. We are disabled, and on a fixed income, so I have to do the bills up first to see if I have any extra.
