Hi family and friends! As many of you know, I have been suffering with major back pain for the last 16 years since highschool. It's limited me with certain physical activites, including running, and certain cardio exercises. I've also had many issues with bending my back and finding clothes that can fit. Many years ago I had looked into getting a breast reduction, however, my doctor had advised me to wait until I had children as sometimes milk production can be affected.
Now, after having my two blessings, Masai and Genesis, my back pain has reach an ultimate high. I can barely bend or give them baths without taking multiple breaks and needing alot of rest time afterwards. Many of you have heard my complaints throughout the years and know of my physical suffering.
So today I implore your help towards raising money to assist me in the cost of a breast reduction surgery. As I am unemployed at this time, money is very tight and I would greatly appreciate any help from my loved ones. The surgery itself is covered by OHIP as it's considered a medically needed surgery, however the liposuction part of the surgery is considered cosmetic. It is also needed in order to look somewhat normal and so the "post procedure look" suits my body frame. The total cost is 1800$ and that's after begging the surgeon for a discount.
The surgery is tentatively set for October 22, 2015, so long as I am able to pay the costs. Healing time is 4-6 weeks for general recovery and about 6 months for full-fledged recovery.
Again I would appreciate any help towards my goal and would be indebted to you all! This means the world to me and I've wanted this for a very long time. My whole life will change after this surgery and all for the better. It would mean a better life for myself and for my family. Thank you so very much, and please spread the word to those who would be willing to help.
Sincerely, Cheryl Fernandez
