When I was 12 I had Es and was only 5'0". In the last five years I've grown 2 inches and 4 cup sizes. I am really poor and so can not afford bras in my size. The only bra I have that fits was bought by my ex boyfriend because he wanted me to be in less pain, and it's barely helped. I am about to launch an Indiegogo campaign to raise the money, and am hoping that in 4 months when the campaign is over and I am 18 I will have the money. I am asking my family and friends to help me, but need to raise $9000 since I have no insurance. I've had trouble staying hopeful about this but seeing all you lovely gals get your surgeries has helped me feel more confident. I've wanted this surgery for two years, and am now determined to get it within the next two years.

So my mom told me that I actually have Washington State insurance, and since it's full insurance it might cover breast reductions. I'm going to set up an appointment with my GP and see what she thinks, and until I get info back on that I am not going to start the IndieGoGo campaign. Here's to hoping the insurance will help me reduce these puppies.
Great review?
