Help me get my excess skin removal surgery! :)

Donation protected


Hello, my name is Ana, I'm 22 years old and I've come to ask for your help to raise money for my skin removal surgery.

A year ago, in January, I weighed about 130kg and after a year I reached a weight of 65kg! I was very proud of my progress but unfortunately it caused me other problems with my appearance and my health.

Having lost 50% of my weight in such a short space of time, I ended up with a lot of skin on my legs and belly and my chest was completely disfigured, because as you can see from the photos, each of my breasts was the size of my head. Not only that, but I also lost a lot of hair and gained certain vitamin problems, an inflammation in my small intestine and a serious accentuation in my scoliosis.

I live in Portugal and, as you may know, the financial situation is not good for anyone, especially young people, and I don't have the opportunity to take care of my physical or psychological health by improving my self-esteem.
On a more personal note, I can't look at myself in the mirror without covering my skin out of shame (and I don't have the courage to take or post photos of it), I don't have the courage to go to the beach or swimming pool even with family members, let alone wear shorts or blouses with a bit of cleavage.

This money will only be used to do my cirgury and finally gain confidence in myself again :)

This is my story and any help is very welcome and forever appreciated! And even if you don't, thank you for reading my story! :)
