Hi lovely friends. I know it's been quite a while since I last wrote. I can't believe November is almost half-way over! I have much to be grateful for. Life is good.
But this post isn't about me.
It's about my friend, Camilla.
A friend who has battled anorexia for the majority of her life.
Camilla is one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I know--truly beautiful on the inside and out. She has sought treatment several times before, but her eating disorder (aka Frank), always sneaks back. This time Frank has become so severe, the only treatment that will help is full-time residential care.
Camilla has raised enough money through selling baked goods, and through generous donations to pay for one month of treatment. The only thing is, she needs to stay for six.
Camilla's story caught the attention of the local KOMO 4 News, and was picked up by ABC. Since then she has been featured in the UK's Daily Mail and Italy's Pianeta Donna.
This is where I hope you can help.
Please visit Camilla's blog, The Night Baker, and donate if you can. Even $5 would help tremendously.
If you aren't able to donate, please consider putting her button on your blog.
And for those in the Seattle area, a silent auction/benefit, plus a 5k are in the works to gain awareness, and hopefully raise funds. More details to come.

You are such a sweet and thoughtful friend! We are all so blessed to have you blessing our lives :)
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have a good friend who's battled eating disorders, and it's one of the most complex things I've ever encountered in a person.
