How Your Donations Supported a Marriage.

Every month was getting more impossible. 

Staring at her budget, Sarah had to decide what she could cut this month to keep going to counseling. For the first few months, it was a no-brainer: her husband wasn’t ready for therapy, but her weekly sessions were keeping their marriage alive. 

Sixth months later, there was nothing left to cut. Except therapy…

She knew this next session would be the last for who knows how long. There was just no more money.

As she waited for her last appointment, the lump in her throat she’d held down all day began to swell into her left shoulder: it always got hot just before she cried.

Charis had been a lifesaver, but she was still out at sea. She knew the work wasn’t finished. 

“1 out of 3 Americans are canceling therapy because of finances.”

Walking into the office, she was in tears before her therapist could greet her…

“I have a solution,” her therapist said, handing Sarah a scholarship application. “I figured this might come up. We’ve got you covered…”

Sarah is not alone, 1 out of 3 Americans have to cancel therapy because of finances. 

At Charis, our clients are supported by more than just their therapist. Donors from all over are teaming together to ensure that every person who starts with Charis will not have to stop at any point because of finances.  

All it takes is $42.

Every $42 keeps a client in session and able to continue towards healing. For Sarah, it made all the difference.
