Help Amanda Get Life-Saving Surgery

Hi Everyone,

I never imagined I’d be writing this and if you know me, you know that asking for help is not something I do lightly. But today, I have no choice but to reach out to my community and ask for support in one of the scariest moments of my life.

I am in constant, radiating pain in my left breast and chest wall. It has gotten worse by the day and I am struggling just to get through the hours. The truth is, my implants—something I got years ago when I was younger and didn’t know any better—are now possibly causing serious harm to my body.

Right now, I am fighting to get the correct imaging to confirm what’s happening, but I already know what needs to be done: I need to remove them immediately.

Unfortunately, my insurance does not cover this surgery and the legal route only offers assistance if I have a confirmed cancer diagnosis (which, God willing, I do not). That leaves me stuck, in pain and without a clear financial path to getting the urgent surgery I need.

This isn’t cosmetic—it’s necessary. I am not trying to get a “boob job.” I am trying to remove what is making me sick, in the safest way possible.

The full cost of this surgery was originally $12,400, but after pleading my case, I was able to get it lowered. Now I need to raise $11,200 to cover the procedure and finally remove what’s been causing me so much pain.

I have an incredible surgeon who is ready to help me, but I can’t move forward until I have the funds.


I am scared, I am in pain and I am reaching out because I don’t know what else to do.


If you can help—whether by donating or sharing this—you are literally helping me take control of my health again. Any amount means the world to me and I am endlessly grateful for your kindness and support.


Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring. Thank you for being here.


Love,
Amanda
