I am organizing this on behalf of my niece, Heidi Patterson. On Friday, her son, Levi Patterson, was admitted to the Children's Hospital at Hershey Medical Center for an undetermined amount of time for treatment. Levi has an eating disorder called ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). Those with ARFID limit the amount and type of food they eat. Doctors sometimes call ARFID selective eating disorder. That's because people with ARFID only have a few foods that they think are OK to eat. The team at Hershey is working with Levi, but when he is discharged, he will then go to an intake facility that treats ARFID, of which none are in PA. He will be placed in a facility in either NJ or MD.
Traveling right now back and forth to Hershey is putting a strain on Heidi's gas budget, not to mention having to grab meals on the go as well. Please consider donating towards helping her. Any amount will help. Most of all, please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.
