Finishing the journey.

Donation protected
Two years ago I couldn't walk to the end of my driveway, and was waiting to die. One night while thinking I was having a heart attack on a toilet I decided that the life I was living wasn't a life at all. On may 7th, 2015 I walked into Lowell General deciding the it was time to change I weighed in 680 pounds that day and vowed never to look back. The journey of weight loss has been an amazing one. I hit changed my life completely. I have done so well with it that I now get to help others do the same thing. Over the last 19 months I have managed to lose 430lbs. This has left me with a bunch of loose skin. For the first time in my life I am soooo close to feeling comfortable with me as a person. Meeting with the plastic surgeon I was given a quote for the skin removal and it was a huge number. Not knowing what to do I was told to ask for help. I hated the idea of asking people for money but I have run out of ideas. So here it is. I am asking you my family and friends to pitch in and help me achieve the final part of this journey. Having this skin removed will help me finally feel complete and make the crazy adventures I plan on doing a more realistic goal. I can't thank you enough for reading this and giving me a hand.
