For The past 4 years at-least I have been suffering from BREAST IMPLANT ILLNESS which has become debilitating in the past 2 years increasingly.

Eighteen years ago, I made a choice that felt right for the life I was living then. I got breast implants and was told they were totally safe, honestly I was so dissociated from my body back then I never gave it a 2nd thought! I was living in the Matrix Material Vanity driven world and mindset; creating an image to become a burlesque artist sex symbol.

I became very successful, headlined at The Sahara on the Las Vegas Strip within a year, toured the world, and produced my own shows, appeared in books and magazines, tv shows and A-list Nightclub stages. Back then, I thought I was living a great life. But truly I was just part of the HOLLYWOOD machine that exploits women. I did not know that then, but every ounce of my being understands now & I do not wish to participate anymore. My outside no longer matches my inside, the vanity of it has faded & I just want to be healthy and happy again & able to live a life in service to the greater good! I look forward to the day not to be sick & also judged for my fake breasts.

In 2019, I left that world behind to begin a spiritual journey and the filming of my personal story, STRIPPED a reflection of both my past identity and my process of stripping away everything that is not truly me. Even then, I could see that part of that journey would one day include removing my implants. I was scared, and for many years vanity held on tightly as my body was once my entire IDENTITY & LIVELIHOOD!

I first seriously considered explant surgery in 2020, then the world shut down… Since then, my health has continued to decline. Over the past several years, I have been dealing with chronic fatigue, pain in every joint, severe neck and back pain, sore muscles, worsening brain fog, memory loss, blurry vision, balance troubles, digestion issues, menopause and increasing difficulty using my hands. This June, the pain in my elbows became extreme and it became hard to use my arms. It is believed that my left implant has ruptured.

I am starting this fundraiser because I need help getting the care I need. Last year my funding fell through & I can not wait any longer as the symptoms are worsening & it’s become challenging to have will to do anything.

Donations will go toward surgery, food, lodging, and medical treatments. Monetary donations are the primary need, but support in the form of a place to stay in Miami during surgery, hotel points, airline points, or other practical resources in lieu of money would also be deeply helpful. Support will help me access the care I need and get through this period while I am dealing with so much pain and limitation.

This surgery is far more complex then it was putting them in as there is greater risk with scar tissue that needs to be removed right over the heart. MY muscles will be cut & sewn nack together so it will be 6 weeks until I can even lift my arms up & I’ll be unable to lift or pull anything. This is a major surgery and major recovery. I currently do not have the proper living conditions for healing of this magnitude and will have to rent a healing sanctuary elsewhere.

If my story speaks to you, I am asking for your help. Any donation, no matter the size, would mean a great deal to me. If you are not able to give, sharing this fundraiser would also help me more than I can say. Thank you for supporting me on this part of my journey.
