Surgery to remove toxic breast implants
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
My name is Brittney, some of you know me, and some may not, but regardless i hope and thank you from the bottom of my heart that you take the time to read this.
I started this GoFundMe for my mother Yvette Brock...( And even tho she has no idea i'm doing this, and would not agree with me starting one... also may possibly kill me for it " not actually") I as her daughter, her oldest, and best-friend can not sit back and watch her suffer in silence anymore, nor can i bear the thought of loosing her because of this, or simply just because shes such a strong, independent, and stubborn woman to just ask for help... (dying or not.)
For the last 7 years my mother has been suffering from Breast implant illness, A toxic mold that has formed inside her Breast implants that is slowly poisoning her from the inside. Over time, implants (both silicone and saline) break down and wreak havoc on your body. The shell on silicone and saline implants is comprised of silicone and over 40 other toxic chemicals: tin, zinc, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, formaldehyde and talc to name a few. Your immune system is constantly fighting them, leaving you vulnerable to other illnesses.
The estimated time frame for these bags to start falling apart is 8-10 years( her having them for almost 21 years now) but although some people experience problems soon after implanting, some dont until much later.
The mildest of my moms symptoms started a few years back. The aches, The brain fog, Extreme fatigue, Shortness of breaths, and constant back pains... My mother used to be so full of life, she was a loved FireFighter for the Clio Fire department for years, always down to go do anything anytime, she was always the first one to jump up and help when needed, didn't matter what time of the night, or day.. she was there. She used to be able to go out to do things, always looking for the next adventure weather it be going to the beach with the family, a cookout on a lazy sunday, or exploring abandoned spooky building with me (because i didnt want to go alone) and probably the hardest one for her and saddest for me, is not being able to chase after her grand-babies anymore.
iv'e slowly and helplessly watched as my mom went from a happy, healthy, in love with life woman... to not even being able to mow her own grass without it physically breaking her down, for days on end. There are days she can barley get out of bed because she feels such guilt, and such despair, knowing life is happening all around her and can't participate.
My mother has missed out on so much these last few years with her family, friends, and grandchildren, because the fatigue and pain were so severe that she could barely leave her own house, or drive....was afraid that she would go blank with brain fog, or have to lay down after few hours just purely out of exhaustion from simply just walking around.
All I truly just want is to see my mom alive again, not just for me, but for all her children, (grandchildren included, because we all know the gran-babies ALWAYS come before us) but for all her family and friends too.
I want to see her be able to infectiously light up a room again just by walking in and using her smile, i want to see her enjoy her life, her family, and friends.... but most importantly, to just be normal.
We truly appreciate everyone for taking time, to read this. That alone means the world, and honestly absolutely anything helps...weather it be a $1,... $5... or simply just sharing this post for us or to help raise awareness on the issue, anything and everything is greatly appreciated so much more than you know.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and God bless,
