My Nonprofit Reviews

I discovered the EDRC Support Group for friends and family when I first learned of a beloved granddaughter's diagnosis with anorexia. I was lost in a sea of non-information, and her parents, who live several states away from me, were so immersed and submerged by the reality of their very ill daughter, they were unable to share much with me and they were learning as well. Your weekly ZOOM support group became informational support for me as well as emotional support as I dealt with my feelings of isolation and found needed intimacy in the sharing that unfolded. I looked forward to the weekly meetings, and felt very close to and trusted by others in the group. I learned how to be a more useful and supportive grandmother to my granddaughter, rather than a worrying and questioning nuisance to her family. Each Saturday morning was a blessing, as I felt part of everyone's ED troubles, and felt comfortable sharing my own. I've never experienced a ZOOM activity that felt so honest and real. I sincerely thank EDRC and the others who shared their stories with me on the calls.
