Rachael Farrokh has been battling anorexia for over 10 years now. At 5ft 7in, she weighs just a little over 40lbs.
Last month, she posted a heartbreaking video on YouTube where she asked for people’s help. ‘I’ve never been ever wanting to ask for help,’ she says, ‘but I need your help.’
During her long battle, the 37-year-old from Southern California has been in and out of several treatment centres. But, now, at such a low body weight, only one Colorado hospital can help her.
To get there, she needed financial help because her husband Rod Edmonson has left his job as a personal trainer to be her full-time carer.
