Please help me to get a life changing breast reduction.

Southland

One doctor told me I am a perfect candidate for breast reduction surgery but there was no point going on the list as it would take years. Another doctor told me she couldn't believe no one had put me on the list already so refered me for surgery which was declined.

I have been battling with excessively large breasts since I was 12 and am in constant pain. I have headaches,back and neck pain and panic attacks daily. I go to bed and I can't breathe from the weight on my chest. It is near impossible to exercise and embarrassing to even just leave the house.

I want to be able to run around with my daughter and be the mum she needs me to be. I am the only parent she has and I want to be around to be there for her.

I have to get specialist bras in a JJ cup size which still don't fit but are the closest they can do.

Walking around with two basketballs on my front is a nightmare that needs to end.

Use of funds

The money will be used to pay for breast reduction surgery. If I do not reach my goal the money will be used as a down payment and I will try to get a bank loan for the difference.

I am getting all of the last bits and pieces sorted out, working hard on getting/keeping my health sorted and trying to not get too nervous. I just wanted to thank everyone who has supported me on this journey.it is going to change my life and words really can't express how much all of your support and encouragement means. Lots of love to you all ❤
