This page will tell you about the people and support that has helped me to heal.

"I would like to especially praise my Mother, Father, and also Pop Pop and Mama for talking to me and showing me that there was a special calling for me and this was to help others heal.
 
My Mother has been the backbone of the strength I have found to make this site possible for all of you. Thank you all for standing by my side and helping me to heal. I love you all dearly. You are my family, my strength and my inspiration. God Blessed me by sending you to me." 

My Family
 
 You have all touched a special place in my heart and soul that my own blood could never reach. Michael and Marjorie I want you to know that I consider you my Mama and Pop Pop. My Mother Darlene, you are my best friend and I love you dearly for always being there when I have needed you. I know I can always depend on you and beleive me that goes both ways. I will cherish our relationship forever! Love, Your Babygirl. Dad, I love you too and I thank you for everything you have done for me. You have taught me many things growing up and always took care of us. Thank you.
 
I am grateful to have all of you in my life and wouldn't change my new found family for another in the world. You have been so supportive of me and even given me the tough love you and I both knew I have needed yet never had before. Thank you.
 
 I promise you that I will always be here for you as you have been for me and respect and cherish you for the rest of our lives.  I promise to never betray you by lying or deceiving you with my ED (eating disorder)again.

YOU WILL FOREVER BE IN MY HEART.

My Doctors and Staff
 
I would like to thank Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania for all their support and wonderful medical care. To all my Doctors, Nurses and Counselors thank you for helping me heal. I have a long way to go, but day by day I know that I will achieve my goal. Recovery. God Bless all of you for everything you have done for me.
 

My Guardian Angels
 
I would like to especially thank my guardian angels who have led me in the right direction to be where I am now and with whom I am with. I know that you all have helped with God's plan to give me the good fortune I have found. My beloved Great-Aunt Punkie, my dear sweet Viola, who will always be my best friend, her and my Aunt Punkie can continue their friendship for eternity and watch over me and her family,Grandmother Eva, Aunt Donna and Uncle Jim (who I have always thought of as my second parents),my Aunt Glenda, my cousin Lisa, and finally my Aunt Shirley.  I miss you all terribly but I know you are all watching over me and one day we will be together again. You will always be in my heart as the ones who have loved me most. It was an honor to have you in my life for the short period of time I did. May you all rest in peace knowing I love you and I am okay for the first time in my life. I can and will survive. Thank you God for blessing me and guiding me the right direction in life to heal and recover. I promise you that I will do my best to make you all proud and help others to recover and heal as well. It is my mission in life.

My Friends
 
I have only a limited number of friends right now who have always been there for me and for you I am grateful. Leonard and Sabrina. I thank you for the gifts of love and support you have given to me, you are amazing friends and I love you both dearly. I would like to take this moment to also thank the friends I made in the Intensive Outpatient Program at Hershey Medical Center also. Getting to know you has also made this site possible. I found a way of helping myself through helping others being there for the short period of time I was. Please stay strong and heal yourselves. I am not completely there yet but I am doing well and I refuse to give up. Know that I love you all and feel free to contact me at anytime. I will be here for you, I promise. To all of the people coming to this site for the first time, I also consider you friends as I know we will be able to help each other heal and become stronger day by day. God Bless you all and thank you for your support.

TO WANT TO HEAL! I AM GREATFUL TO THOSE WHO ARE BESIDE ME, MY NEW FAMILY! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

I would like to thank each and every one of you who have helped me through this battle I have been fighting for Twenty-Four years. Without you I would not be here to enjoy my life and all the happiness I have now. I want to repay everyone for standing by my side when others have let me down and I have realized the best way to do so is to heal. God Bless all of you. Thank you for giving me the strength, love, support, inspiration and tough love that I needed to become the woman I am today.
 
With all my love,
