My name is Natalie, and I'm a wife, mother of two, and a full-time Walmart associate. I'm creating this fundraiser because I've reached a point where the physical pain I experience every day is affecting my ability to work, care for my children, and enjoy life.
For years I've dealt with chronic neck, shoulder, and upper back pain. Standing for long periods, lifting, stocking shelves, and completing everyday tasks have become increasingly difficult. Recently, I've begun seeking medical evaluation to better understand the cause of my pain, but one major contributing factor is the weight of my breasts. I currently wear an E-cup size, and the strain on my body is constant.
As a mom, I want to be able to play with my children, carry them comfortably, and be present without always thinking about pain. As a worker, I want to be able to complete my shifts without coming home exhausted and hurting. As a person, I simply want the chance to live with less discomfort and better mobility.
Breast reduction surgery has the potential to significantly improve my quality of life, but the cost of consultations, medical appointments, testing, surgery, recovery time, and related expenses is more than my family can comfortably afford right now.
Asking for help is not easy for me. If you've ever struggled with chronic pain, you know how frustrating it can be when it affects every part of your life. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help bring me closer to receiving the treatment I need. If you're unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with others would mean just as much.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting my family during this journey. Every share, donation, and kind word is deeply appreciated.
