Too Skinny To Treat? Dying Anorexic Actress Makes Heart-Wrenching Video Plea For Help

37-year old actress, Rachael Farrokh, from Southern California, is begging the public to help save her life as she has been battling anorexia nervosa for more than 10 years, and has released a video on YouTube describing her fight against the life-threatening eating disorder. In the footage, she explains how her condition has severely declined in recent months, leaving her emaciated, breathless and too weak to move around on her own at her San Clemente home.

She also reveals how her husband, Ron Edmondson, has had to quit his job to become her 24-hour caregiver, while area hospitals won't treat her because her 'dangerous' weight makes her a 'liability'.

'There's one hospital across the country that can help, and my chances are very slim. We need your help, anything you can'. a gaunt-looking Ms Farrokh says in the video, asking viewers to donate '

Sitting on a couch with a pink hooded top covering her tiny frame, Ms Farrokh, begins the video by saying:

'I need your help. I'm suffering from an eating disorder. It's a very severe kind of anorexia. I've been suffering from this for quite a while now. I'm five-[foot]-seven, 40-something pounds and no hospitals will even take me at this point.
'Rod is now my 24-hour caregiver. In order for us to get [to the hospital that can help]... and I'm not one to ever ask for help...I need your help, otherwise I don't have a shot. And I'm ready to get better.' 

She finally guides viewers to a dedicated GoFundMe page, where she is aiming to raise $100,000 to fund her treatment. She has so far raised $33,150, while her video has garnered over 11,000 views.
