I am supporting NEDA because it is close to my heart and is such an important cause. Eating disorders are serious but treatable mental & physical illnesses. They have the 2nd highest mortality rate of all mental health disorders. While no one knows for sure what causes eating disorders, a growing consensus suggests that it is a range of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. By donating, you can also help support those who are struggling.
All donations will go to the National Eating Disorders Association, who give donations to different recovery programs and health associations across the US.
About a year and a half ago, I was in the hospital to recover from my eating disorder. To this day it was the most difficult time in my life and I am so grateful for those who loved and supported me through it all. When we love and support others, we help them overcome struggles in their lives (not just eating disorders).
I want to help those who are struggling with an eating disorder so they can have a chance at recovery and a longer and happier life.
