Plastic Surgery

Donation protected
In November of 2015, my Son Ricardo, who had just turned 14,  weighed 314 pounds. As you can imagine life was hard for him, not only physically, mentally but academically as well. He decided that being over weight was no longer an option and started on a weight loss journey. He made a commitment and stuck to it. With healthy food  choices and excersice, he quickly began to loose the weight. Today he weights in at 189. He is a Junior in High School and has maintained A's and B's since his freshman year.Unfortunately with such dramatic weight loss he has extra skin that prevents him from feeling confident in his own skin. He wears compression shirts to hide his saggy boobs and stomach. Even with all the weight loss he still sees himself as "fat and ugly".  Like any mother I want my son to be happy and confident so that he may follow his dreams and be successful in life. The only solution is plastic surgery. No amount of excersice will get rid of the extra skin. Our insurance will pay for the chest but not for the stomach. I am reaching out to you for help. My son and I would be grateful for any donation you can make.
