Someday Melissa was founded in 2010 by Judy Avrin following the death of her daughter Melissa to an eating disorder. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Someday Melissa’s mission is to promote recognition and awareness of eating disorders and the importance of early treatment. Along with Danna Markson, LCSW and director Jeffrey Cobelli, Judy created a documentary, “Someday Melissa, the story of an eating disorder, loss and hope.”
In order to fulfill Someday Melissa’s mission, the goal is to show the film, speak to groups, provide educational materials and have a vital website and blog that are continually updated with information and resources; to share stories of recovery and hope. Sales of the DVD, community screening programs and speaking engagements will support those goals.
