Danni’s Journey to Renewed Confidence

Hello,

I’m Danni and I live near London.

A few years ago, I embarked on a life-changing path: I lost over 38 stones through a blend of disciplined meals, intermittent fasting, daily exercise, and, above all, sheer determination.

I found inspiration in Eddie Abbew’s uplifting videos—which reminded me that transformation truly begins in the mind.

Growing up, I struggled with my weight from the age of five. I remember sitting in a clinic, dietician by my side, and feeling weighed down not just by my body, but by the NHS’s lack of answers and later as i grew older by DWP’s sending me to the scrap heap, by , notifying me I’d be on benefits forever. My family’s frustration stung more. It became a lonely place, and I knew I had to rewrite my story.

While this journey has gifted me better health and a happier outlook, it’s also left me facing new hurdles. The excess skin around my abdomen, arms, and thighs brings:

Daily Discomfort: The constant rubbing leads to skin irritations and painful flare-ups that grab at any moment.

Limited Mobility: Simple joys like running, sitting for long periods, or even walking the length of a park bench have become quite difficult.

Lingering Self-Doubt: What should be a chapter of celebration sometimes feels clouded by self-consciousness.

More than anything, I dream of feeling light on my feet—running freely in the park, playing with my future children without a second thought, and moving through the world without pain or embarrassment.

I’ve consulted with Irmet Hospital , a compassionate and skilled group of surgeons and nurses , who’ve recommended a series of corrective procedures: abdominoplasty, extended arm lift , and thigh lift. The total cost—including surgeon fees, pre-op tests, anesthesia, hospital stay, compression garments, lymphatic drainage massages, and 24/7 hospital stay during recovery—comes to £10,775.

As much as I’ve saved and fought to get here, I can’t quite cover these expenses alone.

I’ve set my fundraising goal at £14,000, which will cover:

Consultation and pre-surgery blood tests

Surgeon and anesthesia fees, pre-surgical care such as cardiologist or hernia repair.

Hospitalization and aftercare

Medical compression garments , lymphatic massages and flights.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to a life without constant discomfort and shame. If you’re unable to contribute financially, sharing my story with your friends and family would mean the world to me.

I’m committed to sharing every step of this journey: the pre-op jitters, the recovery highs and lows, and the joyful milestones. Your kindness won’t just change my body—it will restore my confidence and help me step into a future I once thought impossible.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of my story.

With deep gratitude,

Danni
