Hi everyone,

I'm creating this fundraiser due to recent life events and am hoping there are family and friends out there that can help, even a little bit.

The story is, I'm very sick with my eating disorder and needed to go back into residential treatment at the beginning of April 2024 at Alsana in Thousand Oaks, CA. Unfortunately, I also lost my job around this timeframe, and my health insurance ended on 4/30/24, which resulted in me returning home early because of insurance reasons. I am still struggling significantly with my eating disorder and would like to return to Alsana to continue the treatment and progress I've made. In addition, I'm looking at using COBRA in order to continue my health insurance, but this comes at an extremely high premium each month. I will probably need the insurance for at least 3 months, and I no longer have any income.

I'm also in danger of losing my apartment due to lack of funds for continued rent and would need help in this regard as well. I'm at a true crossroads in my life and am asking for support wherever I can find it. I have more motivation now to recover than I have in years and I want to keep that spark going. I hope to eventually make the huge move to Los Angeles and find a job there, but until then I need a little help.

I understand completely if you are unable to donate financially, but any type of support or resources are welcome. I hope I can get over this bump in the road and start living my life again.

Thank you for reading this and even considering,

Ann
