Kendra Hubbard has suffered from Anorexia Nervosa for decades, she was admitted into a residential program to help with her anorexia. Now almost two and a half decades later she was let out of the program and is gaining weight. Hubbard now faces a new problem: finding a way to pay for her follow up treatment she needs. By mid-Feburary of 2006 she has used all of her 30 hours her insurance covers for her treatment, but she still needs help and with her family bankrupt there is no n=money to pay for the treatment she desperately needs.
Anorexia has hurt the lives of millions, it has torn families apart and treatment is leaving people bankrupt because insurance will not pay for the treatment. Many are trying to get this added onto the list of things insurance covers but the insurance keeps saying no. But these families are not giving up.
