Christine's Skin Removal Surgery

Donation protected
Everyone deserves to have a happy ending...
I have been best friends (like many of us so lucky) with Christine Dole since freshman year of college in 2008.  Throughout the years, I have seen Christine succeed in many things, despite what life may have thrown her way.  I have also seen her struggle and fight her way back.  Before college, Christine's father was tragically killed in a car accident.  Shortly after, Christine was also in a life altering car accident that left her with nightmares and scars.  When I met Christine, I knew right away that she was a wonderful person; she has the most genuine personality and is one of the most selfless people I know. 
However, she suffered from being overweight, and that literally weighed her down.  As the years passed, she struggled more and more with her weight and other personal issues, however she continued to be one of the best friends anyone could ask for and continued to shine bright. 
At her heaviest, around 350 pounds, Christine made a conscious and brave decision to change her lifestyle.  With the help of Ideal Protein, Christine has lost over 170 pounds and has inspire more than 16,000 followers on her Instagram (TakeMeTheWeighIAm).
Her last hurdle is to get plastic surgery to remove the excess skin caused by her truly inspirtational weight loss and I, along with thousands of others, would  love nothing more than for Christine to be able to look in the mirror and be happy at who is looking back at her.  Every day is a constant struggle for her.  Despite losing all of that weight and becoming a much healthier version of herself, she is constantly reminded of the fact that her past is preventing the future she dreams of.  Her insurance has denied coverage numerous times.
It is our job, as family, friends, and followers, to give Christine the miracle she has been praying for- a chance to finish her journey and love the body she is in!!

Any amount will help this beautiful, inspiration woman get her miracle.
