raise awareness and prevention about eating disorders

hi, im lana and im 15 years old. as a part of my curriculum at school, the personal project is something sophomores do every year at my school, choosing something you are passionate about and solving the issue. something I am extremely passionate about it preventing eating disorders/helping people who have eating disorders. this is something close to me as for the past 3 years, i struggle with this everyday. many people think eating disorders is just wanting to be skinny and not eating but it’s so much more than that, it takes over your life until you feel like you aren’t even alive anymore, it affects everything in your life and you have mental battles everyday, you can feel great and “recovered” and then all the sudden, your back to square one. During my experience, I’ve gotten really close with people in my life who have helped me push myself to recover everyday, this is something that I want to give back to other people who struggle too. something that has helped me personally feel comfortable during hard times are hoodies. with this in mind, I want to create cute hoodies that raise awareness about eating disorders I can sell and donate the money to the NEDA (national eating disorder association) to help this issue get less and less likely. I have been working with a graphic hoodie designer but as I have no money to start up my hoodies and buy the materials, a donation can help me get closer to achieving my goal to help other people. thank you for reading this and your time
