Why Your $50 Matters More Than You Think
Why $50?
When people first hear about The Mind Card™, they often wonder: Why $50? It’s a fair question- after all, most therapy sessions cost much more than that. But here’s the truth: $50 is the difference between someone staying in therapy and someone giving up.
The Hidden Gap in Mental Healthcare
In the U.S., too many people fall into what I call the “forgotten middle.” They don’t qualify for free resources, but they also don’t have extra income to cover therapy week after week.
For many, a session is $100–$150.
Insurance copays can still be $40–$70 each time.
Shift workers, nurses, teachers, and first responders often live paycheck to paycheck.
On paper, it looks like they can “afford” therapy. In reality, that extra $50 each week can be the barrier that keeps them from getting help.
Why $50 Works
The Mind Card™ isn’t about covering the whole bill—it’s about bridging the gap.
A $50 subsidy lowers the mental barrier. Suddenly, that $150 session becomes $100. Or that $70 copay drops to $20. That feels possible.
It keeps continuity of care. When clients hit a financial wall, they often stop therapy entirely. With the Mind Card, they can stay with the therapist they’ve already built trust with.
It multiplies impact. One donor’s $50 helps a client today. A recurring gift helps them tomorrow, next week, and the week after.
Real Stories, Real Impact
A single mom who wanted to keep seeing her therapist after changing jobs.
A college student who couldn’t stretch their financial aid far enough.
A nurse who needed support after a string of night shifts and burnout.
For each of them, your $50 meant they didn’t have to choose between groceries, gas, or mental health.
The Bigger Picture
America is often reactive about mental health. We wait until things are critical. But imagine if, like dental checkups, mental health check-ins were the norm. If we made therapy preventive care instead of a luxury.
That’s the vision you’re fueling when you give $50. You’re not just paying for part of a session—you’re making affordable care normal.
How You Can Help
Every $50 gift is a lifeline. Here’s how you can join in:
Give once → provide a session subsidy right now.
Give monthly → become part of the reason someone stays in care all year.
Share → tell a friend why this matters—because chances are, someone in their circle is struggling silently.
Final Word: Your $50 Matters
The Mind Card™ isn’t about covering everything. It’s about making the difference between “I can’t” and “I can.”
And when someone finally says “I can”- because of you- that’s when healing begins.
