Luci's Breast Reduction (gifts for you!)
Donation protected
All donation amounts are welcome no matter how small! For photoshoots, a minimum of £85 donation is required (see rewards below).
I am Luci and I am 28 years old. I want a breast reduction. For your donations, I will give you prints/photographic services in return. Please continue reading:
(watch me explain my background story too!)
The issue:
For about a good 10 years now, I have wanted to have my 38J/K breasts reduced (it made me cringe just typing that). I have a curvature of the spine due to the weight of my breasts which causes pain in my shoulders and back. Because of their size, I get painful sweat rashes underneath which look and feel sore (made worse if I do physical activity at the gym). My life is affected by my breasts on a daily basis for a number of reasons. I find it hard to find bras/clothes that fit me properly and even if I find a bra that is in my size, they often cost about £40.00 a time. I feel incredibly self-conscious, due to unwanted attention from people who seem to think it is perfectly acceptable to look or even make comments about their size - working in a male dominated environment is not helping matters. I find tasks such as holding shopping bags cause me backache because of the additional weight forcing me forwards.
(Sorry there aren't many photos of me these days due to feeling self conscious)
GP would not help me:
Only until November 2013, I finally plucked up the courage to see my doctor about this as I was too ashamed to take my top off. I visited a few times and the GP refused to refer me for an xray for my back pain so I had to pay for one privately. It showed curvature of the spine. The GP refused to even look at the xray!! After numerous appointments, I have been informed I am not eligible for a breast reduction on the NHS much to my disappointment and frustration. I suffer with depression anyway but this has really had a negative impact on it since.
My dream:
It will cost approximately £6000 if I go private and I don’t have the funds to afford this surgery on my own. It would be my dream to not feel physical and emotional pain anymore. My fiancé proposed to me in October 2013 and I feel I cannot get married until I have the reduction. As a photographer myself, I know I will hate my wedding photos because of my chest size. I want to feel comfortable in myself on my special day and the rest of my life.
Fundraising (please read):
I’ve had friends suggest setting up a fund raiser page but I was reluctant to as I feel bad for taking from people. However, I wish to give something back to those who choose to donate by offering prints and photographic services in return (if you want them!) just to say a big THANKYOU and show my appreciation for your generosity
* Please note that photoshoot rewards are based in London and also the Isle of Wight (UK!!) which I visit every 4-6 weeks.
