Barbara was one of the finalist an she was in desperate need for a breast reduction. 

She was severely bullied in school for being different. From a young age, she was not happy with how she looked like. 

An emotional Barbara told Breakfast with Martin Bester with tears welling in her eyes: "I will be able to play with my children and my entire life would change. I lost 22kg because I thought my breasts would also shrink."


After the win of Marischa, we received a phone call from Caring Daisies who will pay for Barbara's surgery.
