Hi my name is Charlene and I’m fundraising for breast augmentation and corrective surgery. I tried making a go fund me in the past but was nervous about asking for help and wasnt confident when it came to sharing my story. If you don’t agree with what I’m asking, then please just continue about your day.

If you’re a woman reading this, I’m sure you can relate to being a kid and wondering how much longer before you start “developing”and it made you want to be older because you'd feel more confident, now imagine feeling like that day never came. That’s how I feel. I feel like less of a woman somehow, I don’t feel feminine. I don’t feel gorgeous or curvy. I feel like a paper doll cut out. It makes me feel sad and I cannot stop spiralling when I see other women feeling confident in their bodies. That’s what I want. I just want to feel good about myself. Ive even went as far as booking a Dr. appointment where I broke down bawling on the phone because of how it makes me feel. My doctor sent a referral to a plastic surgeon and apologized to me for how I feel, unfortunately there is no funding for cosmetic surgery. Ive even wished the absolute worst for myself in hopes my breasts would have to be removed and surgery would get offered. I cannot express how much I have such a self loathing hate on for my chest.

If you’re a man reading this, I’m sure you cannot relate. But if you are able to help by spreading the word I’m sure you have women in your life that could better explain this kind of feeling to you. I’m sure it would be almost the same as being a boy wishing and wondering how much longer before you grow a moustache or beard, and then realizing one day that you’ll never grow facial hair because you’d have it by now for sure. Then looking into all the ways and cosmetics and surgeries at the best way to get facial hair only to realize it’s too costly for someone working hard to make ends meet and support your family.

It’s always been a big deal to me and I wish it wasn’t. Ive always thought about it, I’ve always wanted to change it or correct it but I just can’t afford to.

Since having kids if my own, it has taken what little I did have, and turned them into saggy deflated sacks of skin. It has affected many parts of my life, it's hard to find a bra that fits properly. So far only sports bras seem to fit. Anything else, as soon as I lift my arms my breast's fall out of the bottom. Anything to low cut, I fall out of the top just picking something up off the floor. I'm embarrassed by them.

I'd really appreciate anyone’s help, even a little bit helps, even if you can’t help financially please share so that maybe it will reach someone who can help financially, that’s willing to help make someone’s dream a reality.

Its hard to open up about these kinds of struggles, and not everyone is going to take this seriously, but I can assure you it matters a tremendous amount to me.

If you’re able to donate or share I’m absolutely grateful for you and the time you took to read this. I appreciate you!
