Help me fight against Breast Implant Illness

Donation protected
Hello friends, I'm a single mom whom has always made ends meet until now. A long time ago I had a very invasive surgery which I was promised a quick recovery from which took myself by surprise because I never felt okay after. I had a breast augmentation done to my chest under the muscle. I learnt very quickly that, that meant a lot of residual pain. This was lived with until I started swelling to the point that I fractured 6 ribs bilaterally. Then after extreme pain I healed and then broke 4 more ribs on my right side. All though my healed my ribs broke and rebroke until they were healed leaving me with great nerve pain which traveled around my waist, down my arms and then to my face. Causing even my tongue to turn white. I've tried very hard but I can still not sit up for very long. I feel pulled into laying flat. This affected my ability to walk forcing me to use a walker everywhere I went. At the same time as dealing with all of this I was making meals and prepping the house for my daughter. I was forced to scan one bone at a time so I was constantly having to commun to the hospital by myself in great pain. I did not have enough money this entire time to make ends meet which really put another layer of stress. My pain was a ten but now that it is slightly controled I would like the pressure of the implants off my chest to save my arms which are currently dislocated at the ulnar nereves. I really need help to make the next step in healing to get these implants removed because I know deep down they are the reason my ribs broke. This story is what nightmares are made out of because one of the side effects of all this is it takes me away from my precious duties as a healthy mom. It breaks my heart that one surgery holds me back from so much. If I do manage somehow to raise the money it will go directly to the surgeon. I have given up on the surgeons in BC. They don't return calls or show any amount of care. Therefore I'm looking to Mexico for help.
Please if you can help just a little it would encourage me to keep fighting.
At this point I'm told my chances of a heart attack has doubled and so has my chances of getting cancer. I'm very very sorry to have to create this myself. That in its own breaks my heart but maybe this site can help me take steps to get these balls of plastic out of me.
I have made so many changes to my lifestyle. I don't smoke anything and stay 100% away from alcohol. I'm pretty focused on getting better. I just want my body back and am unable to work due to all of the constant appointments and pain. I want that to change quickly because my child is graduating from school soon and she will need a postsecondary education.
Thank you for reading my story, I've shortened it considerably and if anyone has questions or would like proof I can very easily forward you paperwork.
