Urgent Explant Surgery

Donation protected

Hi everyone thanks for stopping by!

My name is Elle & I am the little sister to Leila Stead. My sister had founded an instagram community of nearly 40 thousand people since 2016, and in that time she’s been a pillar for women all over the world. She has founded many of her own go fund me accounts for women desperately in need and given back to her community many times, but now it’s time for her to ask for help.

Recently she has started having extreme symptoms of breast implant Illness, landing her in emergency departments over three different hospitals in our local area. No stone had been left unturned in her quest to heal herself but the only way to definitively cure this all consuming illness is to have the 11 year old toxic & recalled polytech implants, that have been linked to breast cancer (this is a textured implant that currently has the highest risk of BIA-ALCL [breast implant associated- anaplastic large cell lymphoma] in Australia) *linked below* removed once and for all. Some of the symptoms she is experiencing due to these toxic implants are; severe heart palpitation, brain fog, memory loss, fluctuating blood pressure, loss of feeling in fingers and toes as well as pins and needles and cold sensations, vertigo, dizzy spells, chest and shoulder pain, all over body spasms, shortness of breath, pain and burning around implant, cold sensation in chest, pain in and around skull and brain, difficulty swallowing/choking, feeling immense dread about death, inflammation of the heart, numbness in limbs, hormonal cysts in armpit and liver and kidney dis function. All of these symptoms have caused anxiety, depression and panic attacks.
The biggest concern we have as a family is these toxic ingredients cause breast implant illness that will cause her body to shut down, or she will be diagnosed with cancer as a result of these toxins Implant ingredients. Time is of the essence, Leilas body is not coping with the toxic overload. It is required that the surgery is a complete enbloc capsulectomy as soon as possible. The surgeons available asap are Dr Mary Ling & Minkst Team and it will cost around $13,000 - $14,000 without as lift as she has opted to have her health a priority not aesthetics. If you are experiencing similar, please go to the Facebook page “breast implant illness and healing my Nicole”

My sister is a single mum, feeling the pressure of the rising cost of living, experiencing debilitating symptoms limiting her ability to work, as a sole income earner for her family, understandably this has been incredibly stressful for her. In true Leila fashion she will documenting this jounrey on her instagram, so feel free to keep updated there.
She doesn’t want to do this go fund me, she’s began the process of selling her vehicle to pay for this surgery, but that will render her without transport when she lives 45 minutes from the nearest city/hospital. Together we can help in the cause for her to have this life changing, and much needed explant surgery. Any small amount will be highly appreciated to work towards this goal. Thank you for taking the time to read.
