Milica "Mimi" Konatar was a beautiful and kind soul, a loving and devoted daughter and sister, and a caring friend to many. Her passion, drive and flame burned bright. Sadly the impact she wanted to make on the world was cut short when she lost her 1.5 long battle with an ED a few short weeks into her college career.
Knowing Mimi's heart and compassion for others, she would want her story to help others battling the same disease. So in her memory, we want to help as many as possible to avoid the tragic loss we had to endure when our Mimi took her final resting place.
Sadly, more than 29 million Americans experience an eating disorder in their lifetime and every 52 minutes someone dies as a direct result of their eating disorder.
Unfortunately, less than ⅓ will ever receive access to care. The National Alliance for Eating Disorders, the leading national nonprofit for eating disorders, has worked tirelessly over the past two decades to change these statistics. During the weekend of February 23-25, 2024, our team will be participating in The Alliance’s Annual NOT ONE MORE Weekend.
Please support us as we join this global movement to ensure that NOT ONE MORE life is lost, NOT ONE MORE child is taken, and NOT ONE MORE precious moment is destroyed by this insidious disease. All proceeds from the NOT ONE MORE Weekend will directly fund their free, weekly, therapist-led, virtual eating disorder support groups!
In 2023 alone, more than 20,500 individuals from all 50 states and 83 countries around the world attended Alliance groups.The Alliance is the only national nonprofit organization that provides free, weekly, therapist-led eating disorders support groups; free referrals for all levels of care through a therapist-staffed helpline and findEDhelp; low-cost therapeutic services for uninsured and underinsured individuals; and unique and empowering Southern Smash events. Simply put, The Alliance saves lives.
Please consider donating to our team so that we can help The Alliance continue to make a difference nationwide!
