<div>Hi friends,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m sharing this with vulnerability and hope because I’m entering a critical stage of recovery from a severe and enduring eating disorder — one that requires full-time, inpatient treatment. This level of care is intensive and medically necessary, and it’s the next step toward saving my life and rebuilding a future rooted in health, freedom, and joy.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Eating disorders are not just mental illnesses — they have serious, sometimes life-threatening physical consequences. I’ve experienced fatigue, cardiac symptoms, nutritional deficiencies, and other complications that can’t be ignored any longer. Inpatient treatment will provide round-the-clock medical monitoring, nutritional support, and therapy to help me begin sustainable recovery.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This decision hasn’t been easy — and the financial cost is overwhelming.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Between medical bills, travel costs (since treatment is out of state), and having very minimal paid time off from work, the burden feels impossible to carry alone. While I focus on recovery, I won’t be able to work or earn income, which adds another layer of stress to an already fragile situation. Insurance only covers part of treatment, and the out-of-pocket expenses are beginning to pile up.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But beyond the bills and the diagnosis, this is about reclaiming my life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Before this illness took hold, I was someone who loved adventure — hiking, exploring, staying curious, and now with my beloved dog Sage by my side. She’s been my constant companion through the darkest days. I want to get back to that version of me: the one who felt free on mountain trails, who had energy to participate in joyful movement, and who embraced life fully.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Recovery is the only way to get there. Inpatient care is the first step.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your support will help cover:

</div>

<div>•	Inpatient medical treatment not fully covered by insurance

</div>

<div>•	Travel to and from the treatment center (including flights, lodging, and transit)

</div>

<div>•	Medication, lab tests, and necessary follow-up care

</div>

<div>•	Out-of-pocket costs while I am unable to work (due to no PTO)

</div>

<div>•	Ongoing therapy, medical support, nutritional guidance, and aftercare once I’m discharged

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Whether you can donate, share this page, or simply send encouragement — it all helps more than I can say. I’m choosing life, and I’m fighting hard for it. Thank you for being part of this journey with me.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With gratitude and hope,

</div>

<div>Aimee

</div>
