Goal
L'Oca d'Oro staff and their families have been using the Mike and Sherry Project to access inexpensive counseling since just prior to the pandemic. It has been a tremendous benefit during this incredibly stressful and emotional period. We have been able to normalize the idea of attending counseling thanks to the affordability which is one of the greatest hurdles to achieving more wellness in our industry. Please help us expand on this vital program that saves lives!

About The Mike & Sherry Project
The Mike & Sherry Project was created in 2019 with the mission to provide accessible mental health care to individuals working in the Austin restaurant and bar industry in partnership with Capital Area Counseling (CAC), a psychotherapy center providing affordable, accessible, high-quality mental health services to all Central Texans. CAC is offering low-cost tele-therapy services to members of the Austin bar and restaurant industry, regardless of employment status due dining room closures with help from the fundraising efforts of the Mike & Sherry Project. Pricing is determined by an income-based sliding scale with appointments as low as $15. Funds raised by the Project go towards helping bridge the gap if the bar and restaurant workers are unable to make the fee and to supporting CAC staff. To date, the Project has raised over $60,000 for accessible mental healthcare and seen over 2,700 appointments.Â
