The ARFID-a-saurus

The ARFID-a-saurus 💙🦕🩵😁

Apologies it's been a little quiet here. Some of you may have seen my other post about Raffi's feet and his Clubfoot relapse 🥺.

I've been very busy trying to navigate this with Raffi and find the best solution.

But don't worry The ARFID-a-saurus is on its way. 💙🦕🩵. My amazing illustrator is working hard to bring it to life, and I would rather it be perfect than rushed.

I hope you will like it as much as we do, so much of this is coming from Raffi, and bringing his ideas to life 🤗💙🦕🩵. It is all about a little boy with ARFID, and a friendly dinosaur 🦕 🤗, a subject very close to my heart.

My Gofundme campaign is still going and anything you can donate is hugely appreciated, or if you can share as far and wide as possible 🙏xx

Having successfully written and self published two rhyming stories for children with Clubfoot, I also have a further two in the pipeline.

All about disabilities and conditions close to my heart.

Anything you can give will help me bring my books to life and into the hands of the children and families they were written for.

Please share for me far and wide 🙏🙏

Thank you so much from Raffi and me 🤗 xx

ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) affects thousands across the UK, yet support remains inconsistent - creating a postcode lottery that must end. Around 1.25 million people have an eating disorder, 5% ARFID, yet many cannot access appropriate care.

The sad reality of why Raffi developed ARFID.

But also the root cause of our positivity with The ARFID-a-saurus.

Edit - thank you all so much, I'm now just over £700 now and I'm incredibly grateful for your support and kind words. But I still have a way to go, to reach my target. So please please donate if you can, even a pound or two, and if not please share as far and wide as possible 🙏 🙏 🤗 ***Front cover coming soon 😁😁***
