  • Thank you all SO much! Merch to be released next year! <3

      21 December 2024

    Just wanted to take the time to thank everyone so much for supporting me before the end of this year. Every dollar means a lot to me and helps me get closer to my goal. Next year I will be making art & merchandise to sell where all profits will go to my surgery! Will keep you posted on here and on instagram! Hope everyone has a great holiday <3

      24 September 2024

    Will have to push surgery date out to sometime next year as I'm still quite behind on my savings goal due to life circumstances! Thanks for the support!

  • Changing surgeons

      15 July 2024

    Thank you SO much to the lovely people who have donated and shared! <3 Apologies I haven't updated in a while, I've taken time away as the surgeon's rejection left me feeling a bit bummed. Instead of Thailand, I will now be going to Madrid which is slightly more expensive but accepting of bigger bodies. Surgery alone will cost $10.5k, adding in flights and accommodation comes to around 15.2k.

  • Minor change but still going ahead!

      15 March 2024

    Kia ora!! Thank you SO much to those who have shown their support by sharing / donating. Unfortunately my chosen surgeon has told me to lose twenty kilos in order to get surgery so I will be having to go to someone else. I refuse to (and cannot) conform to outdated, fat-phobic practices and do not feel confident with places limiting surgery with BMI guidelines. It sucks - the medical system is a challenge as a fat person - but I will not lose hope. I will update the page with cost changes etc!
