Head Shave for anorexia & ED support in Ireland

Hiya! My name is Caoimhe May (kweeva may) and I am a recovered survivor of anorexia nervousa.

I lost my entire teenage-hood to the eating disorder, and nearly my life on several occasions. I started recovery on the 19th of May 2020 and that was the date I never ever went back. However now I am coming back, but to my illness, but to help others suffering from it.

The support and facilities here in Ireland to treat eating disorders are completely inadequate. I was one of the lucky ones to have gotten the help that I did, I hit the jackpot in an unlikely lottery. However so many people with EDs are not as lucky, and that needs to change. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate out of every mental illness, and immediate help is so important, yet so many people deteriorate or die quicker than the time it took for them to get adequate help if any at all.

The reason I am raising money for Bodywhys is because the more facilities and free help there is in Ireland for eating disorders, the better, but that costs money that no government is going to give us any time soon . Not quickly enough.

When I was at my sickest, I lost my hair. While I've grown the majority of it back now, I think it's worth losing it again if I can even at least help 1 person from spiralling down into an eating disorder or giving someone who's hit rock bottom a better chance. That is why I am asking you to please, please donate whatever you can to support me shaving my head for those suffering from an eating disorder in Ireland.
