Donor Stories

 
My sister is in recovery from an eating disorder. Her struggle with this widely-misunderstood disease connected me to NEDA, which I have supported for a number of years now. When my sister began exhibiting symptoms, I wanted desperately to help her, but I didn't know where to begin. I was only able to visit her once while in recovery, but NEDA's newsletter and website helped me feel more informed and less alone during this frightening period. I am happy to say that today, my sister is healthy and thriving. I continue to financially support NEDA because it is vital that individuals who suffer from eating disorders, their families, and the wider media become better informed about the contributing factors, warning signs, and treatment options.  - Sarah M., Brooklyn, NY
