A Healing Journey...
Sometimes, we get to the point where we have tried everything, and are at the end of our rope. At this time we have a choice to make...
To give up...
or to ask for help.
I'm Andrea, Katy King's sister, and I've created this campaign because Katy has just initiated a huge transformation in her life. I know that this will lead to a beautiful freedom that she deserves, and a healthy relationship with herself, and food... She needs our love and support, in any way we can share it with her...
This message is from Katy:
"I've spent the last 5 days trying to figure out what to share with the FB world about the next step in my journey, and it's taking too much energy to try to only tell select people, to remember who I've told what, and to make sure that people will not get worried when they can't get in touch with me.
I am leaving on Monday to go live in a treatment center for a month to learn how to make a positive relationship with food and to get well once and for all.
I've gotten quite sick over the last few months again, and it's time to get on the same page with my body about my love of this journey that I call my life.
This has been a life long battle for me, and I'm ready to make peace with my body.
Thank you so much for the love and support that I have received over the last few days (and longer).
I'm ready."
This campaign is to help Katy fund her recovery. She needs your love and support.
Katy will be going to Rosewood Ranch to face what is keeping her from feeling healthy.

Though it was a difficult decision, she is ready. This treatment facility is an intensive healing journey where she will stay and receive the support she needs. It costs $3450 a week, and she expects to spend 4 weeks there.
- All received funding will go directly to Rosewood Ranch.
- If extra money is received, it will be used to pay bills when she is gone, and fund others that need support. We're all in this together <3
- The goal is set to fund the entire month. If the goal isn't met, she will continue to find other ways to fund this journey.
The Details...
This is very transparent, and may be hard to believe, if you know Katy. She has put on a strong face, and smile through a lot of difficulty. She has agreed to share this openly, in the hopes to inspire not only your support, but your own transparency when you may need to ask for help for yourself, or someone you love...
"As most, if not all of you know, I have struggled with making a positive relationship with food for most of my life. I have been really sick again, and now I am working with a naturopath. I am nauseous 24/7 again, and my body doesn't want to take any food in. Even water at the wrong time sends me into crazy moments of horrific burning nausea. :( I made a big decision the other day. I am going to find the right inpatient program for me to deal with my eating disorder and the rest of the things that have become so out of balance because of this.
I am quite proud of myself for making this life saving decision. I have started making phone calls to tell some of the people closest. It seems like this had even been therapeutic to some degree as it gets easier each time I tell someone. I am finding more power each time. I know that I likely won't be able to get to each of you over the phone or in person, so I thought I would at least start some communication here. The first thing that people have been asking when I tell them, is what can they do? The first thing is that I could use is lots of love and support. Nothing is more important to me than that. I know I have kept a lot of folks at arm's length lately because I have been struggling quietly to get well without success. I could sure use some extra love.. Of course I can use financial support. This is not going to be inexpensive... however, me living is worth whatever I need to do to make that happen. I have not always been very good at receiving, and it seems like this is a good time to learn how. I absolutely welcome any financial support that is offered.
Bottom line is that I am ready to get well and be a better aunt, sister, friend, teacher, daughter, partner... I just want to be better.<3 "
