Dear friends,

This isn’t easy for me to write, but I do so with the hope that there are kind-hearted people willing to help. After a difficult pregnancy and birth, my body has been permanently changed. My abdominal muscles are damaged, my skin is stretched, and I deal with physical discomfort and pain every day. But perhaps even more challenging than the physical struggles are the emotional ones.

It’s hard for me to ask this, but I need help. My body has been damaged by childbirth.

The surgery I need costs €6,300 and is not covered by insurance.

Every donation — big or small — brings me one step closer to a life where I can look in the mirror without shame. Where I can lift my child without pain. Where I can feel like myself again.

If you’re not able to donate, sharing this message would already mean the world to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Thank you for seeing me.

With love and hope,

Brenda & Kjento
