The ARFID-a-saurus Welcome to The ARFID-a-saurus, my forthcoming children's book about ARFID. Please support my Gofundme

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 😁😁***

Hi, I'm Jen, mum to Raffi and author of my forthcoming children's book The ARFID-a-saurus. I have set up a Gofundme to help bring to life my new children's books.

The first one, already written and pending illustration is all about a little boy with ARFID and a friendly dinosaur 🤗, a subject very close to my heart.

Having successfully written and self published two rhyming stories for children with Clubfoot, I now have my next one written and pending illustration and a further three 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

Literally Everyone
Highlight

Why ARFID is so hard 💔

Because eating & drinking is the basis for life & you never imagined your child would struggle to do that 💔

Because you can care, support, research, advocate, but you can't 'just make them eat'.

Because it's not understood.

What NOT to say to a child with ARFID.

"Just have some more"
"It's no different from yesterday"
"You can't have pudding if you don't"
"I'm not wasting it!"
"You must sit to the table to eat"
"You ate it last week"
"You're just being fussy"

All of these negative words will simply do damage to a child who is struggling already. ARFID is NOT their choice.

They need, love, care, support, advocacy, understanding, time, peace, patience and to be heard.

So I hope in writing this book, it will bring some hope and positivity to other families. It has been written out of our lived experience and our love in abundance. 💓💓

I still have a long way to go to reach my target and get my books into the hands and hearts of the families and children who they can help.

If you can please share as far and wide as possible I would be incredibly grateful. The further my campaign is shared, the more chance I can fulfil my dream and bring my books to life. .

Thank you all so much, with love, Jen and Rafferty xx
