My own experience is testament to the fact that recovery is possible. I see my struggle as a crucial chapter in my life. Now I know it is my mission to help others who are suffering. In addition to speaking publicly about awareness, I run a support group in New York City for Orthodox young women in recovery and am building a website as a means of support for families in the Jewish community who have a loved one suffering from an eating disorder – as well as many other projects, all under the umbrella name of Tikvah V’Chizuk (Hope and Strength.)

I am doing all I can to make a difference. How about you?
