A New Chapter After 150 Pounds Lost

Hi everyone,

This is really hard for me to write, but I’m in a difficult spot and I’m reaching out with hope in my heart.

After losing 150 pounds, I was finally approved for skin removal surgery—a life-changing step I’ve worked so hard to reach. I had the funding secured, but very unexpectedly, the person who had promised to pay for the procedure backed out.

The paperwork is already signed, so now I’m financially on the hook even if I don’t go through with it. I’m overwhelmed and honestly heartbroken, because this surgery isn’t just about looks—it’s about comfort, confidence, and healing after years of struggle.

If there’s any way you can help—through donations, sharing my story, or even just words of encouragement—I would be beyond grateful. I’ve come so far and I’m terrified I might not be able to finish what I started.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for even reading this. ❤️
