After losing 180 pounds, I am facing a new set of challenges that I never expected. The excess skin left behind causes daily pain, especially when I sit, as the skin rolls and puts pressure on my tailbone. I also deal with painful rashes in the folds of my thighs, and hanging skin pulls on my knees, sometimes causing dislocation and constant discomfort. These issues make it difficult to exercise and even to find clothes that fit properly, affecting my confidence and quality of life.

I have met with a doctor who recommended skin removal surgery, but the cost is far beyond what I can afford on my own. Without this procedure, the pain and mobility issues will continue to limit my daily activities and prevent me from fully enjoying the progress I've made in my health journey. I have not been able to schedule the surgery because I simply don't have the funds.

This fundraiser is my hope for a new chapter. With your support, I can finally move forward, reduce my pain, and increase my physical activity. I look forward to a future where I can wear clothes that fit, exercise without discomfort, and live each day with more confidence and freedom. Thank you for considering helping me take this important step.
