Hi, my name is Ella, and I’m sharing something deeply personal in the hope that it can lead to healing both physically and emotionally.

Earlier this year, I developed a severe case of cellulitis in my breasts, after having mastitis 3 times previous due to breastfeeding . It was a terrifying, painful experience that came dangerously close to ending in amputation. Thankfully, that didn’t happen, but the damage has left me with extreme sagging and changes that make me feel like a stranger in my own body.

It’s not just about appearance it’s about how I feel when I look in the mirror, how my confidence has plummeted, and how my happiness has been affected every single day. I want to feel like myself again, to stand tall without feeling ashamed or broken.

I’m fundraising for a corrective breast lift to repair the physical damage and restore my sense of self. Any support whether it’s donating, or sharing means the world to me. Thank you for reading my story and for helping me take a step toward healing.
