Go Fund Me/ Raising funds ideas - weight

[MumnMore]

I’m new here but expecting a fair bit of negativity in response to my post…

I am an overweight mother of two. I work hard in a school and I manage to run the household on my earnings.

Lately, I’ve been experiencing anxiety going out, feeling like I’m being watched and laughed at and even at school I feel the kids are laughing at my appearance.

I have tried losing weight and I feel exhausted with it.

I can’t save much and have a poor credit history from a few years back. It’s slowly improving but I don’t think I can borrow despite having some disposable income and would be quite nervous to with the current cost of living crisis.

I am wondering if anyone can help me with how I can raise money for weight loss surgery? I considered Go Fund Me but I wouldn’t want to share it with friends and family and don’t think anyone would actually help (I understand why).

I even considered Only Fans which is laughs considering my appearance.

I wonder if there are people that loan to others? Like a goodwill gesture? I’d 100% pay the money back. I just need someone to trust in me. Any ideas at all?

I don't see how childcare would contribute to weight loss

She means that you must have some support from someone otherwise you wouldn't be able to consider voluntary surgery as you would have nobody to look after your children and indeed you while you recover.

So, instead of asking them to look after you after the surgery, ask them to do that favour now instead so you can have some time to exercise.

I've had some really useful advice, thank you. Ariela, I found your post particularly helpful and quite motivating.
Thanks to those who took the time to respond with some helpful advice.
