Urgent Breast Reduction Young Woman in East Africa

Donation protected
My name is Nikki Black and I’m making this gofundme for a very good friend of mine who is struggling with a serious and debilitating ailment. For her privacy I won’t include pictures or her name but she has been struggling with having extremely large breasts. It’s to the point where she has scars, wounds, severe back pain, and deep indentations on her shoulders since it has been a struggle for her since being a teenager. The growth is inexplicable and seemed to happen extremely quickly. It is debilitating for her physically and has been a source of her depression. Doctors in her country said they’ve never dealt with a case this severe and that she needed to see a specialist. My mother, Immaculee Ilibagiza, had found a kind surgeon willing to perform the surgery for her Pro Bono in The United States. However, since she lives in East Africa, finding a visa has been impossible due to tight restrictions after Covid. It has been an uphill battle. She wanted to find alternative places to do the surgery and she found a good doctor in Turkey who was willing to perform the surgery. She applied for a visa in Turkey and received it but now the amount of expenses for the surgery, flight, and hotel costs are putting a financial strain on her family. They did not ask for our help but we know paying these expenses is financially burdening and we want to help the best we can. I know they would be extremely appreciative of any donation. Thank you so much and God bless.
