Established by Becky Allen, Kristina Saffran, and Liana Rosenman.
We are three teenage girls who have started Project Heal with two goals in mind. First, we hope to raise money for
people suffering from eating disorders who want to recover, but are not able to afford treatment. In order to raise this
money, we have developed a fund called Help to Heal.
Additionally, and equally important, we want to diminish
society's obsession with body image by encouraging girls (and all people!) to accept their bodies. People do not have
to love everything about their bodies, but it is important that they learn to embrace their perceived flaws and "imperfections".
We hope that by providing encouragement and support we can help those struggling with body image issues from developing full-blown
eating disorders. PLEASE NOTE: Becky, Kristina, and Liana are holding the first benefit brunch
for Project HEAL on September 14, 2008. It will be held at Crabtrees Restaurant in Floral Park, NY (Long Island). ANYONE may
attend. Bracelets and t-shirts will be sold, and there will be a silent auction. If you have questions, are interested in
attending, or would like more information, please email us as soon as possible.
