About this fundraiser

Hi, my name is Claudia and I’m in need of weight lost surgery and then skin removal in addition to covering my bills during this transition.

A little bit about me. I have three wonderful kiddos. Most of my weight gain came from my pregnancies. The remaining of my weight gain came from my divorce. I was very much in love with my now ex-husband, so it hurt to find out he had a girlfriend during my last pregnancy. We planned the last pregnancy and our daughter was born on his birthday. They share birthdays; August 14th, exactly 30 years apart. 

It took five years to finalize the divorce and with each year, I gained weight. He moved on quickly. It took me five years to finally go on my first date. Although, I have dated I shy away from the intimacy part of the relationship due to lack of self esteem. I have been in counseling and continue to be in it as it has helped me. I have began to lose some weight but it is difficult to focus on along with working and being a single parent. 

I am an open book, and I want to share my journey with those that are able to donate. 

Thank you in advance.
