Original poster

Go Fund Me/ Raising funds ideas - weight

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?

Hello everyone. We've had a number of reports from people concerned about this thread so, as we usually do in these circs, we're putting our heads round the door with some important reminders.

Right now we can't see any evidence to indicate that the OP isn't above board – if we did, we'd remove the thread straight away. But the truth is that, sadly, we at MNHQ can't know with 100% certainty that any poster is genuine, no matter who they are or how long they have been here. As frustrating as it is, we're not able to vouch for anyone here.

So we always ask users to remember that not everyone on the internet is who they say they are – and remind folk not to give more to another poster, either financially (in cash or gifts) or emotionally (in time or care and support) than they'd be prepared to lose if things went wrong.

Though, we strongly advise against parting with any cash or giving away your personal details, and if you receive a PM which makes you uneasy - report it to us and we’ll take a look.

We've compiled some useful links posted by Mumsnetters into a financial issues webguide, so that people experiencing difficulties can find all the relevant information in one place.

Sorry to hijack your thread briefly there, OP – we really hope you get it all sorted soon.
