Help Me Get My Life Back – Breast Reduction for Chronic Pain Relief
I’m a solo mum who’s always been strong, active, and independent — but now I’m struggling just to get through each day. I live with severe back pain caused by wear and tear from L1–S5 and undiagnosed spina bifida. My GG-cup chest adds constant strain, making even simple tasks unbearable.
I’ve tried everything: chiro, physio, Pilates, back braces, pain relief, biking — you name it. Nothing brings lasting relief. Walking a few hundred metres or doing the groceries can leave me in agony for days. I’ve had to rely on hiking sticks, crutches, and sometimes even a wheelchair just to cope.
After four C-sections and a tummy tuck that led to major infection and scar tissue, rebuilding my core has been impossible. The weight of my chest only makes it worse. I just want to be able to move freely, keep up with my kids, and do normal things again — like stand and cheer at their sports games and be there fully in their life and not miss important events due to this pain.
Public waitlists are painfully long, and the pain clinic is a 14-month wait. A breast reduction would be life-changing — easing my pain, improving my mobility, and helping me be the mum I used to be.\
I am only 49 and my future looks bleak but I have not given up. I am a fighter.
Any help — donations, shares, or kind words — means more than I can express. Thank you for helping me fight for my health, my independence, and my future. 💜
Funds raised will go towards a breast reduction performed in New Zealand to reduce breasts 5 sizes to give me a chance at a better future to spend with my children and grandchildren one day
