The founders of Project HEAL, Liana Rosenman and Kristina Saffran, met while undergoing treatment for anorexia nervosa at just 13-years-old. The two girls helped each other to reach full recovery, and decided to help others achieve it as well. In the spring of 2008, both at the age of 15, they founded Project HEAL to raise money for others suffering with eating disorders who want to recover but are unable to afford treatment. Unfortunately, insurance coverage for eating disorders is severely lacking, leaving many unable to get the help they need. Eating disorders affect up to 30 millions Americans, but only about 10% ever receive treatment. Treatment can be costly and we do not want that to be a barrier to anyone! That's why ProjectHEAL spends so much time in the community working towards awareness and fundraising! Every donation, no matter what the size, helps in our ongoing fight to save lives and help people recover from eating disorders. Here are a few examples of where your donation will go:

$100 – 1 hour nutritionist appointment
$150 – 1 hour therapy appointment
$250 – 1 ½ hour family therapy appointment
2,000 – 1 week of intensive aftercare for a recipient
$6,000 – 1 year of full outpatient treatment for a recipient
$30,000 – 1 month of full residential treatment for a recipient
