HERE'S THE STORY:

Eating disorders are unfortunately common as girls grow up in a society teaching us that 'thin is beautiful'. As the prevalence of eating disorders is sky rocketing, proper treatment continues to be expensive and often out of the question for people who need it the most. Please help to promote positive body image while raising money to send girls to treatment. Treatment can cost up to $1000 per day, yet can be the most priceless thing a person can receive.
This is a cause that is very near and dear to my heart and every little bit can help!
Your money will be going towards Mercy Ministries. Many of the girls, who come to Mercy for help, are facing a combination of debilitating circumstances and have been in various treatment facilities with unsuccessful long-term results. They are committed to providing the young women they serve with the most excellent program services that allow them to recognize their self-worth and prepare them to reach their full potential. Their non-conventional approach to healing allows young women to permanently stop destructive cycles and prepares them to take hope out into their communities.
Think of your body as the vehicle to your dreams. Honor it. Respect it. Fuel it.
