Picture posted...need a lift in life

Hi people,
I lost my breasts through illness and need the kindness of others to raise the money for surgery.
So far, it's not going too well, but it's my only option. I've never been one to give in so I will keep trying.
Since I lost my breast tissue I have felt less of a woman. People say, Linda, you are a beautiful woman you don't need breasts. Well, it's hard to convince people about how I feel...you can only feel it if you experience it.
Anyway, that's what I'm trying to do...raise money to feel like a woman again. If you'd go to my website and donate I'd be most appreciative.
Currently, I work as a part time model in Sweden and am a single mother to the apple of my eye, Samuel. Please don't think that I'm just doing this for the money...if it was about money then there would be a lot easier ways to raise it than to share and allow everyone to see the pain that I hold inside.
My website is www.getmeboobies.com
I'm part time modelling (I would model more but it's hard in Sweden as unemployment is rife and I have a five year old son that keeps me busy). The majority of my modeling is done tfp (trade for prints). A photgrapher takes pictures for free so you can build up a portfolio.
I would start a savings account, but my modelling keeps me off the benefit and there isn't a lot left over. I'm pretty proud of the fact that I'm not drawing from the state...unlike the majority of my friends.
It's easy to judge I guess, and I don't hold it against anyone that does at that is an opinion. Opions are an entitlement.
Believe me, this is not my ideal way to do this. Since having my thyroid gland removed I've battled many obstacles. Depression being the largest. I don't know if you could understand. I don't have a metabolism anymore and daily medication is rellied upon for that.
I am thankful. There are many people in the world far worse of than me, I know this. I am just trying the only avenue I have available to me at the moment.
I'm sorry if that is not suitable to you, or anyone else who has read my post. I don't mean to hurt people. Or offend them. This is not my intention.
Every day I look in the mirror and every day I hate myself for what I see. I look at other women and envy. I wish I didn't but I do.
Anyway, I thank you very muchy for taking the time to reply and bid you a very fine day.

Linda, needing a lift in life

while i see your cause for a "crusade" i have several red flags that i raise while i read your post and then look at your website.....

first of all, i am in the same situation with you. i too have a situation which at this point can only be resolved with plastic surgery(see my thread started in the body forum). until this is performed, i too suffer psychologically and socially because of the excess skin due to weightloss, which has been a lifelong battle for me. while the weightloss was not significant enough, but yet enough for me to feel substandard, insurance will not cover this.

however while i can relate to this crusade, i have some questions for you. what was said in your consultation for breast reconstruction? did you even attempt to have a consultation with a plastic surgeon?

now although i am not familiar with your situation's details and the standards regarding disfiguration of the body in relation to disease in sweden. i'm led to believe that if the "depreciation of your assets" was DIRECTLY linked to a disease as such, insurance would cover this. if you are unemployed and not receiving assistance from the government due to making too much on your part time modeling career, how did you pay for treatment and surgery for the thyroid condition which has ravaged your body?

if the reconstruction of your breasts due to a debilitating disease and if this is of so much importance to you as a woman, a model, and in the career itself to feed, cloth and shelter your young son...have you ever thought of doing another career more stable to financially supplement and then yet pay for this procedure?

another reason i am having a hard time believing your crusade is the wording and graphics posted on your website. your "prize" your giving away on the website is less then honorable as well. let me start with the graphics....the animated woman with her breasts inflating----tacky. the "prize"...a one-on-one cam session with you---cheap, but yet the male demographic may play into that because there are a lot of freaks of the male persuasion who will go for that. and last but not least your WORDING!...extremely bottom-of-the-barrel(titilating titties?!?!?!?!?...TACKY!).

if there is a disease, a deperation due to this disease and a severe purpose for this surgery to take place in order to keep you employed to shelter, feed and support you and your son, the internet does WONDERS to communicate with plastic surgeons all over the world to take your case on a pro bono basis(of course with medical history and documentation proving this disease did indeed do this to your breasts is needed to back up reason for medical necessity).

in closing, i am finding your crusade either so desperate you're willing to resort to a less than honorable method or you're just looking for a free ride to the operating table simply because god made to this way and you're unhappy about it and there's no disease documented. i will choose to raise to $20,000 for my procedures in an honorable way and i think the moderators of this website should remove you from this site since this post is a blatant attempt to advertise.
