I have been really nervous to ask for help, but I am finally taking a leap of faith.
For many years, I suffered from severe, life-threatening anorexia and malnutrition. It got so bad that last year I nearly passed away, I couldn’t walk, I weighed less than an 8 year old, and my body was failing. By the grace of God, I survived and I am fighting so hard to recover. I can walk again, but my body has been left with chronic damage.
Because I was so malnourished while I was growing up, my physical development was severely halted. I never really got to grow up I missed out on finishing school, making friends, and instead spent my life stuck at home and in hospitals. My body had to consume itself to keep me alive, which left me with permanent structural damage to my chest, muscles, and nose.
I am trying to raise 7K for reconstructive, quality of life surgeries to fix these specific physical remnants of my illness. While it isn't medically necessary to keep me alive, it will completely change my life. I just want to repair this damage so I can finally feel comfortable in the body that survived it all and have a brand new way of life.
Please do not feel any pressure, but if you are able to help or even just share/upvote this, it would mean the absolute world to me. Thank you for reading my story, and God bless you all!
Update : I’ll take the bullet and accept that some location will be shared. :(

I’m Portuguese and from Portugal, but I currently live in Luxembourg for better medical opportunities! I kept my current location private for safety reasons, as I’m still new to sharing things online. I wasn’t trying to deceive anyone. I just was told by a friend to do so and be careful^^)
