Hello everyone,

 As some of you may or may not know, I have been struggling with an eating disorder for the past 15 years. Throughout the years I have continuously worked hard each week with an amazing outpatient medical team, (therapist, dietitian, medical doctor and psychiatrist), in order to recover, be healthy, and live my life.

However,  I recently suffered from a relapse of my anorexia. Unfortunately, things went from bad to worse very quickly and in order to gain more medical attention and psychological support and stability, my team and I decided it would be best for me to take time off of work and enter an eating disorder treatment center so I could focus full time on recovery. Between waiting lists, insurance coverage, and assessments, it took a few weeks before I was able to find a place that accepted my insurance, had a befitting treatment approach and was able to work with me closely regarding financial needs. I checked in to the Eating Recovery Center in Denver, CO, a nationally renowned center for the treatment and recovery of eating disorders, on July 2, and am currently still in Denver, working hard every day.

Currently, I’m paying for the treatment myself while also on short term disability from work, but this financial situation has become very distressing and distracting from my journey to health. I know this is a lot to ask, but I’m trying this crowdfunding as a last resort to raise enough money to help defray the costs.  If you are able to help contribute ANY amount at all, I would be forever grateful. I’ve made a lot of progress towards recovery in the past 8 weeks and I do not want the financial stressors to prevent me from continuing to move forward.

I also completely understand if you’re not able to support monetarily, but good vibes, thoughts, and prayers are always loved and appreciated :-)

With a very grateful heart,

Ann
❤️❤️❤️
