Eating Disorder Recovery Fund for Kelsey

Hello, my name is Emily, and I am fundraising for my friend Kelsey. Let me start by giving a little insight into who Kelsey is as a person. She is the go-to person for any of her friends when they need a ride to the airport, pet sitting, help with any project, and goes above and beyond to try and be there for her friends.

Kelsey has also been struggling with bulemic anorexia for 15 years. Recently, a close friend became so concerned about Kelsey's ability to function that she decided it was time to call 911. A decision many of us are grateful for. Also a decision that made Kelsey aware of how life threatening her condition currently is, and all of the medical care that it will take to overcome this. Kelsey has Medi-Cal, but there are a number of treatments that she will need after being released from the hospital in order to recover. These include: individual counselor, nutritionist, eating-disorder specialist physician, and psychiatrist. She will also need other medical treatments that are not covered at all by her insurance. Kelsey is committed to these treatments and wants to get better. My hope is that financial strain won't be a reason for any digression on this journey. She will have long-lasting effects that will constantly require attention. Please consider supporting her if you can, so the financial burden isn't too great to bear, and Kelsey can beat this devastating illness. Thank you for your time and support. Let's help Kelsey reach her wellness goals.
