| I find Tina. She is afraid and nervous, but she is also hopeful. We begin talking, she opens up and speaks to me about her illness; somehow the story is always the same. |
|  | | That is where I stop. It is the same place I always stop feeling helpless and ashamed. Because I know that I can't really help her. I can try, but I am terribly limited. Here at "Hope" we have the willpower and passion, but not the money or the resources to help. The government doesn't care. And in the meantime, these young women and men are starving and slowly dying. |
| | | I work as a psychologist in an elementary school. After I graduated from university I wanted to work in a clinic for eating disorders; but there are no such clinics in Croatia. After work, I volunteer with "Hope" - an association that helps persons with eating disorders. "Hope" is a nonprofit, non-governmental association started in Zagreb in 2002. Hrvoje Rendulic, the administrator of "Hope," has single-handedly saved many lives. |
