Hailee’s Life Saving Eating Disorder Treatment
Donation protected
I am making this out of desperation. I have tried everything to seek inpatient treatment for my eating disorder and have not had any success and this seems to be my only option left now. A short background, I am 24 years old living in Florida suffering from extreme anorexia and bulimia. My height is 5’7 and my weight is 78 pounds. My BMI is 12. I have many other disabilities and this eating disorder has made them worse. My facial and neck glands are swollen which is a complication of bulimia. I have been binging and purging around 4 times a day. Putting my family in debt. No treatment center will help me due to my lack of insurance and money. I have been denied Medicaid and commercial insurance due to pre existing conditions and it not being open enrollment. I have called everywhere and told them I am literally dying but they will not help. I applied for scholarships but funding is limited and I wasn’t chosen. I have constant chest pains due to the low potassium from purging. I am in bed or resting 99% of the time. I have been hospitalized several times due to complications and further putting my family in debt. The other time I am binging and purging or thinking about food. I can not recover at home. This will kill me. I feel terrible asking for such a large amount of money but I literally have no choice. Please feel free to share this fundraiser anywhere you’d like and thank you so so so much for taking the time to read this
