Your funding can change a person's life. Your tax-free donation to our Silent Samaritan Program will support counseling sessions anonymously for someone who can't afford to pay the full fees. You can use the PayPal button at the left to:
• donate a one-time gift (any amount) to the Silent Samaritan
Program to help one or more people in need of counseling
support.
• donate $40.00 monthly to support an anonymous person—
a child or an adult—who needs but cannot afford to pay for
counseling sessions long-term.
Here's what Silent Samaritan recipients have to say about our program.
- After having raised two children as a single parent, I found myself at mid-life without career prospects. I thank the Lutheran Counseling Center in the form of Dr. Thomas Taylor for being my safe harbor during one of the most financially and emotionally challenging times in my life
- The main reason I am writing is to thank you for what the Lutheran Counseling Center has provided me at the time my wife and I lost our twins. The support, coaching, and love we received definitely gave us the tools we needed to cope and to continue to heal to this day.
- I've been going to the LCC for over a year now. When I began, I was desperate for help but couldn't afford it. Even the most reasonable fees were impossible for me. The Silent Samaritan fund made all the difference. The truth is, without it I would not have started therapy at all. I can't imagine what my mental/emotional state would be now if I hadn't. I'm doing much better at this point. I wish I were in the financial position to help others as this fund has helped me. But since I'm not all I can do is express gratitude to anyone who's responsible for its existence. . . .
- You have been my anchor in the midst of constant fear and chaos. Without your help, I would have never had the courage and strength to begin a new life.
- Lutheran Counseling Center and our compassionate counselor have saved not only our marriage, but my life as well. When we first started marriage counseling, my husband and I were desperate and very unhappy. We have worked on many problems, individually and together, and are happier than we ever thought possible. Thank you.
An endorsement and a "thank you" from one of our therapists -
I am especially grateful to the Silent Samaritan fund for making therapy available to adolescents in crisis. Many adolescent clients come from single parent homes, or divorced parents, or blended families with financial difficulties. Adolescents struggle with many of the same problems as adults, especially depression and anxiety, but also contend with more age-specific situations such as peer acceptance, bullying, drug and alcohol experimentation, self-mutilation, and eating disorders. I know my adolescent clients would want to say "thank you" to all the Silent Sams who have enabled them to receive the help they need.
